Overview Pagination: add ability to specify N of rows/page

[SlavikCA]

7.5.0 added Pagination to the overview page.
However, it always 10 rows per page.
Doesn't look good on my 32" 4k monitor.
Previously (without pagination) I can overview all of my entries by opening one page by one click. Now it takes me a few clicks to load a few pages.

Request:

• Add the ability to specify N rows per page. With one choice being "All rows"
• Add the ability to make it default. Either by storing the preference in the cookie or by specifying as URI parameter.

Here is how it looks on my large monitor:

Thanks for the suggestion @SlavikCA , I think this makes sense, except the 'All Rows' part. That could be quite intense performance-wise if you have 10k+ rows etc.

this makes sense, except the 'All Rows' part. That could be quite intense performance-wise if you have 10k+ rows etc.

In the "10k+ rows" case you just will not select 'All Rows'.
In the previous version (7.4) 'All Rows' was the default. Why we can't have it as an option now?

[andrewvc]

In 7.4 all rows wasn't truly all rows. We had a limit built into the server, and it would just select at most that limit. Unbounded data fetching isn't something we can build without causing crashes or adverse performance.

I've created elastic/kibana#54031 to track work on this issue in greater detail, I'm going to close this issue in favor of that more action oriented one.
