Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-625:
---------------------------------------
One thing I have considered for making iterators more stateful is HTTP cookie
like mechanism. Some state could be returned to clients. When a client
continues a scan, it returns this state. One reason for doing this is making
the handling across faults easier.
> consider augmenting session state with "breadcrumbs"

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tserver
> Reporter: Eric Newton
> Assignee: Keith Turner
>
> Presently, the iterator stack can be created and destroyed at the whim of the
> tserver and its buffering needs. In complex iterations, lower-level
> iterators can make significant progress which is not inherently obvious in
> any returned key. When the iterator stack is re-created to continue a query,
> the last key returned is used to {{seek()}} the iterators. Lower-level
> iterators must re-scan their data to move back to the old position.
> Consider a mechanism to save progress beyond the last key returned.
