Limit value not respected in dynamodb query

[nielsbergsma]

Hi,

I'm unable to limit the number of results in a dynamodb query operation, the following snippet returns 23k messages instead of 50. Why is the result set size so big?

private def getItems(sequenceFrom:Long) =
      table.query(
        keyConditions = Seq("partition" -> cond.eq(partitionKey), "sequence" -> cond.gt(sequenceFrom)),
        consistentRead = true,
        limit=50)
        .map(mapItemToRecord(partition, _))

After reading the code, I believe the limit parameter only sets the "per-page-limit".
But since the AWScala dynamodb table.query uses the QueryResultPager under the hood which gets converted into a stream it still will result in the full set of items.

You might need to use the ResultPager directly, to only get the first page.
