The value of maxNumOffsets depends on what you are trying to accomplish. In most cases, this value is 1. For a value > 1, it gives you the first offset of the segments since the segment that matched your offset query. Even if you set a very high value, it will not have those many segments and hence the response will be limited and should not take long.
