Followup from #544 and #6126
#6126 introduces support for LIMIT, this makes it possible to do keyed pagination as described in the JetPack pagination documentation (ItemKeyedDataSource):
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/paging/DataSource
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/paging/ItemKeyedDataSource
However, Positional or tiled paging require OFFSET to function correctly:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/paging/PositionalDataSource
This issue tracks adding OFFSET support to the query language and thus notification system. Some primitive form of OFFSET can already be implemented using the standard
List.subList()
API: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/List.html#subList(int,%20int)Implementation notes:
OFFSET on a local dataset would be very simple to do, but very hard in Query-based Realms as the device Realm might not have the complete view, meaning the query will have to adjust for potential objects still not synchronized. See the internal design document for further details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11KAjdw4nxJtv2fq7JPuWhy4tuKOtoyiJlnoOnEEgXUc/edit#heading=h.c3uxob836ny1
