When a resolver function is not defined on the schema for a field, graphql will use the default resolver which just looks for a property with that name on the object. If the property is not a function, it's not very interesting to trace.

### ignoreResolveSpans

The performance overhead for complex schemas with a lot of resolvers can be high due to the large number of spans created. When ignoreResolveSpans is set to true, no spans for resolvers will be created.
