WFS 2 may be quite useful for large responses because it allows the 
retrieval of parts of a response through multiple requests. A client can 
request resultType "hits" (same as WFS 1.1) to find out how many 
features match, and then make multiple requests with startIndex and 
count to get subsets. I haven't used it yet, but this is one of the big 
new features added in WFS 2.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
