To query large outputs or large number of fragments across all anchors, we need to provide pagination for Query API(query data nodes across all anchors). it will help client to fetch limited set of data per request. below is are two possible solutions for further discussions to decide appropriate choice.  

Issues and Decisions

#IssuesNotesDecision
1How to support pagination.we need to decide on how to support pagination for query API from two possible alternatives given below (pagination over fragments or pagination over anchors)

it was discussed in weekly meeting and decided by team members to implement pagination over anchors.

By default if pagination parameter in not provided then query all records.
