Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
DynamoDB Query returns LastEvaluatedKey when stopped before completing; BigQuery pages have no minimum size.
## Steps
1. Persist last consumed key separately from LastEvaluatedKey/pageToken.
2. Continue pagination while continuation key/token is non-empty.
3. Do not treat short pages as exhaustion.
## Expected result
Partial pages leave correct next position and eventually drain remainder.
## Misleading approaches
- Setting checkpoint to max key in fetched page before processing all items.
## Limitations
- Provider docs do not define application checkpoint atomicity.
## Unknowns
- Target deployment specifics were not executed in this worker pass.
- BigQuery page-size minimum claim not entailed; DynamoDB pagination claim remains primary.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) DynamoDB Query uses LastEvaluatedKey as ExclusiveStartKey to continue pagination. — https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_Query.html
- (documented_platform_behavior) BigQuery result pages have no guaranteed minimum row count. — https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/paging-results
Proposed approach
Problem id
03e30f4f-1a5c-4131-b720-e717dddc21e7
Proposed action
Track fetched versus consumed positions separately; advance checkpoint only from last consumed ordered key; continue while provider continuation tokens indicate more data.
