Thanks for Kai and Emmanuel's good discussion. >>... keep it simple and use List<String> getIdentiies() at the moment.
This sounds good to me to proceed. Thanks!

Well, I guess I need some time to absorb the extra benefit of cursor approach. I will be back to this topic when I'm ready, to revisit the API for next release.

I thought it can server well the same purpose for cursor. > > List<String> getIdentities(int start, int limit) => Iterator<String> > getIdentities() I'll suggest - again - a different approach : - either you return a cursor - or you keep the List<String> Here is why : Cursor already implements Iterable, so if you drink the cool aid fully, you'll get the equivalent to what you propose. But if you consider it's still too much work, then, please, keep it simple and use List<String> getIdentiies() at the moment.
