> *Problem Statement*
> In addition to not supporting global limits, there are good reasons that a developer may want to return only a sub-set of the query results when executing a query. For example returning the 10 latest uploaded files. 
> Currently this can be accomplished by executing a query and then only iterating to the 10th item, however a much larger query set may be fetched from the node store than required to service the intended use case. 
> In addition, to support paging, the current implementation would require retrieving and iterating over the Resources until the desired start point is found then reading the subsequent Resources.
> _However_ changing the API contract for the ResourceResolver to either add a new method with the start and limit values would have a non-insignificant ripple effect into the implementations, mocks and providers which would be required to support this new method.
