Esteban Gutierrez commented on ZOOKEEPER-2260:
----------------------------------------------
Hey [~mprime] are you still working on this? I've run into this issue a couple
of times while reading 10s of thousands of children and it would be really
helpful to have some pagination when the client can be resource limited.
Thanks!

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2260
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2260
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.4.6, 3.5.0
> Reporter: Marco P.
> Assignee: Marco P.
> Labels: api, features
> Fix For: 3.5.3, 3.6.0

>
> Add pagination support to the getChildren() call, allowing clients to iterate
> over children N at the time.
> Motivations for this include:
> - Getting out of a situation where so many children were created that
> listing them exceeded the network buffer sizes (making it impossible to
> recover by deleting)[1]
> - More efficient traversal of nodes with large number of children [2]
> I do have a patch (for 3.4.6) we've been using successfully for a while, but
> I suspect much more work is needed for this to be accepted.
