Class FetchOptions

java.lang.Object
  com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FetchOptions

public final class FetchOptions
extends java.lang.Object

Describes the limit, offset, and chunk size to be applied when executing a PreparedQuery.

limit is the maximum number of results the query will return.

offset is the number of result to skip before returning any results. Results that are skipped due to offset do not count against limit.

chunkSize determines the internal chunking strategy of the Iterator returned by PreparedQuery.asIterator(FetchOptions) and the Iterable returned by PreparedQuery.asIterable(FetchOptions). Note that unlike limit and offset, chunkSize has no impact on the result of the PreparedQuery, but rather only the performance of the PreparedQuery.

Notes on usage:
The recommended way to instantiate a FetchOptions object is to statically import FetchOptions.Builder.* and invoke a static creation method followed by an instance mutator (if needed):

 import static com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FetchOptions.Builder.*;

 ...

 // limit 10
 datastoreService.prepare(query).asList(withLimit(10));

 // limit 10, offset 5
 datastoreService.prepare(query).asList(withLimit(10).offset(5));
