/**
 * A table of data representing a complete query result.
 * <p>
 * A <code>QueryResult</code> is different from {@link java.sql.ResultSet} in several key ways:
 *
 * <ul>
 *     <li>represents a complete result rather than a cursor</li>
 *     <li>returns a {@link Row} to access the current row of data</li>
 *     <li>relies on object pooling; {@link #hasNext()} may return the same object just with different data, accessing a
 *     {@link Row} from a previous {@link #hasNext()} call has undefined behavior.</li>
 *     <li>includes {@link #filter(Predicate)}, this will do client side filtering since Apache Cassandra is more
 *     restrictive on server side filtering</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Unsafe patterns</h2>
 * <p>
 * Below are a few unsafe patterns which may lead to unexpected results
 *
 * <code>{@code
 * while (rs.hasNext()) {
 *   list.add(rs.next());
 * }
 * }</code>
 *
 * <code>{@code
 * rs.forEach(list::add)
 * }</code>
 * <p>
 * Both cases have the same issue; reference to a row from a previous call to {@link #hasNext()}.  Since the same {@link Row}
 * object can be used across different calls to {@link #hasNext()} this would mean any attempt to access after the fact
 * points to newer data.  If this behavior is not desirable and access is needed between calls, then {@link Row#copy()}
 * should be used; this will clone the {@link Row} and return a new object pointing to the same data.
