    CREATE (f:Foo)-[rel:FOOBAR]->(b:Bar)

The following changes the relationship type from `FOOBAR` to `NEW-TYPE`.

    MATCH (f:Foo)-[rel:FOOBAR]->(b:Bar)
    CALL apoc.refactor.setType(rel, 'NEW-TYPE')
    YIELD input, output
    RETURN input, output

If we execute this query, it will result in the following graph:
