This removes formatParams, because it is an internal implementation detail of the new Apollo Server as opposed to a first class functionality as in the middleware. It was originally used to implement a form of persisted queries, which is now unnecessary.

In the future, we are planning to move to a more extensible request pathway inside of Apollo Server that should provide the functionality that was originally provided by formatParams. If you are dependent on the behavior of formatParams, please open an issue and we can continue discussions there. In the meantime, the release candidate(rc.7) provides a stop-gap measure.

### High Level Logging

To log the inputs, response, and request, Apollo Server provides three methods: `formatParams`, `formatError`, and `formatResponse`. This example uses `console.log` to record the information, servers can use other more sophisticated tools.

We no longer have three methods, and no way to log the inputs with a simple callback.

For most other functions that might have required access to the middleware arguments, such as `formatParams`, `formatError`, and `formatResponse`, it is possible to create a `graphql-extension`.

For more complicated use cases, the `ApolloServer` class can be extended to override the `createGraphQLServerOptions` function to create parameters based on the same argument that's passed to the context.

<h2 id="log-function">Replacing `logFunction`</h2>

Apollo Server 2 removes the `logFunction` in favor of using `graphql-extensions`, which provides a more structured and flexible way of instrumenting Apollo Server. The explanation of how to do this more granular logging, can be found in the [metrics section](./features/metrics.html)

We should probably note that extensions are not a public API yet at this point.
