/**
 * Perform a query, paging it by page of a given size.
 *
 * This is essentially an iterator of pages. Each call to fetchPage() will
 * return the next page (i.e. the next list of rows) and isExhausted()
 * indicates whether there is more page to fetch. The pageSize will
 * either be in term of cells or in term of CQL3 row, depending on the
 * parameters of the command we page.
 *
 * Please note that the pager might page within rows, so there is no guarantee
 * that successive pages won't return the same row (though with different
 * columns every time).
 *
 * Also, there is no guarantee that fetchPage() won't return an empty list,
 * even if isExhausted() return false (but it is guaranteed to return an empty
 * list *if* isExhausted() return true). Indeed, isExhausted() does *not*
 * trigger a query so in some (fairly rare) case we might not know the paging
 * is done even though it is.
