We need some form of consistency and thus prefer no pagination, and marker-based pagination over offset-based. Specifically, when iterating through all pages all items in the collection must be returned, or said differently, the pagination must ensure that no items get dropped because they moved from one page to another while the iteration was happening. Marker-based pagination achieves that. We don't need point-in-time consistency while iterating through pages. Thanks! Thorsten - CTO RightScale
