Expanding a Graph (2.2.23)

This API is used to expand multiple secondary nodes dynamically. The expanded secondary nodes can process read requests, improving read performance.

This API is not supported by graphs of the Ten-thousand-edge and Ten-billion-edge types.
The sizes of graphs cannot be changed after expansion.
To resize and expand a graph, first resize it and then expand it.
Graphs of the database edition cannot be expanded by calling this API.
