 * Interface representing a cursor to obtain results of SQL Fields query operation.

 *

 * The PHP Iterator's methods may be used to obtain the results of the query (arrays with values of the fields)
 * one by one.
 * Also, the cursor can be placed into the "foreach" PHP loop to easily iterate over all the results.
 *
 * Additionally, SqlFieldsCursorInterface includes
 * getAll() method to get all the results at once,
 * getFieldNames() method to return names of the fields,
 * setFieldTypes() method to specify Ignite types of the fields,
 * and close() method (defined in CursorInterface) to prematurely close the cursor.
