stream

The rows query matches as a resumable stream: read in keyset chunks, each its own query under the store's bulkhead, so no permit is held while the collector works, and bounded by neither the list size nor the budget. Each row comes with its position: the same query streamed again after it goes on strictly after that row, on this node or another. A query whose sort cannot order a cursor streams as list does, under its bounds, its rows without positions, and cannot be resumed (after is then wow.query.invalid); such a query names its limit, or it is refused as wow.query.invalid (stream-not-resumable) rather than stopping unannounced at the default list size.
