Probably need to put a reasonable limit on limit max size, like maybe 100?

Two possible methods:

1. Pure SQL++: SQL query to return article info, author info, favorites, and following info
2. SQL++ to get article IDs that match criteria, ArticleKeys ONLY, then fetch article info+author+favorites+following with existing data services

Another factor to consider: Caching! Cache results into their own document, to improve performance and reduce strain on query service? Make that a separate ticket?
