an interface to paginate across large view results is needed

There can be some situations where querying a view returns results that way too large for the client to handle. In these cases, either the client library API or implementation of some Python specific API can allow for one to iterate over Views which have very large results.

The Ruby client does this with streaming. The Java client does this with traditional pagination:
