> I tried to come up with a scanner like functionality for results generated by coprocessors at region level.
> This is just a poc, and it will be good to have your comments on it.
> It has support for both Incremental and In-memory Result sets. Attached is a patch that has a test case for an incremental result (i.e., client receives a cursorId from the CP core method, it instantiates a cursor object and iterates over the result set. He can set a cache limit on the CursorCallable object to reduce the number of rpc --> just like scanners.
> In its current state, it has some limitations too :)), like, it is region specific only, i.e., one can instantiate and use cursor at one region only (and that region is determined by the input row while instantiating the cursor). I will try to expand it so that it can have atleast a sequential access to other regions, but as I said, I want the opinion of experts to know whether this approach really makes some sense or not.
> I have tested it with the inbuilt testing framework on my laptop only.
> It will be good if I copy the use case here in the description too:
> Test table has rows like:
> /**
> * The scenario is that I have these rows keys in the test table:
> 'aaa-123'
> 'aaa-456'
> 'abc-111'
> 'abd-111'
> 'abd-222'
> & I want to return:
> ('aaa', 2)
> ('abc', 1)
> ('abd', 2)
