The bug is because even though the field `id` represents an xid and has type `String!` because of its name we were considering it to be an ID.

So for example the following schema would work

```auto
type Tweets {
	twitterID: String! @id
	score: Int
}

```

Only when the name of the field with `@id` directive is `id`, this would break. We should have been checking for the type of the field instead of the name. I have fixed this in [fix(GraphQL): Fix getType queries when id was used as a name for types other than ID by pawanrawal · Pull Request #6130 · dgraph-io/dgraph · GitHub](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/pull/6130)
