   Re the idea of an API serving metadata similar to the IPC file format footer 
which the client could use to make range requests:
   
   Perhaps, but I suspect that the real-world usefulness of that would be 
minimal. I can't envision a compelling case where a client user would want to 
retrieve a subset of data by looking up an ordinal byte range as opposed to 
passing more contextually meaningful query parameters.
