Hi Igor,

Thanks for response!

1. It's a bit inconsistent with other store implementations we have in the
product and actually I find this counterintuitive. Why don't we just load
all the data available in the table? Explicit query is useful when you want
to customize this and load subset of data based on some criteria. If this
is not possible for some reason, then I would at least throw an exception
in case query is not specified.

2. Is it possible to automatically split the data in bulks and load them in
parallel? We do this in the JDBC store, for example.
