How to share state between a resolver and a sub-resolver without using the 'info' parameter?

[KerimG]

I have an example schema that looks like this:

type Query {
  db(dbId: Int!): Database
}

type Database {
  tables: [Table]
}

type Table {
  columns: [Column]
}

type Columns {
  name: String
}

In the resolver for the Database type, I retrieve the connection for the database with that specific id. In the resolver of the Table and Column types, I need that connection object or a reference to it. How can I share the state created in the resolver for Database with the resolver for Columns. I know one could use the info parameter in the resolvers but given its lack of documentation, it feels like a hacky and prone to change/break in the future.

I thought about simply adding the state to the result object of the Database resolver and pass it along all the way down Column's resolvers but that kind of feels dirty.

Is there a way to add something to the context object from within a resolver?
