/**
 * The result of a query.
 * <p/>
 * The retrieval of the rows of a ResultSet is generally paged (a first page
 * of result is fetched and the next one is only fetched once all the results
 * of the first one has been consumed). The size of the pages can be configured
 * either globally through {@link QueryOptions#setFetchSize} or per-statement
 * with {@link Statement#setFetchSize}. Though new pages are automatically (and
 * transparently) fetched when needed, it is possible to force the retrieval
 * of the next page early through {@link #fetchMoreResults}. Please note however
 * that this ResultSet paging is not available with the version 1 of the native
 * protocol (i.e. with Cassandra 1.2 or if version 1 has been explicitly requested
 * through {@link Cluster.Builder#withProtocolVersion}). If the protocol version 1
 * is in use, a ResultSet is always fetched in it's entirely and it's up to the
 * client to make sure that no query can yield ResultSet that won't hold in memory.
 * <p/>
 * Note that this class is not thread-safe.
