Description

The nested page(...) field on GqlPathFromGraph is of limited use because columnar outputs on the same handle (e.g. degree) cannot be paged alongside it: the page narrows the row set but the columnar fields still cover the whole collection. Revisit the shape; one option is for page to return a restricted GqlPathFromGraph so every field on the returned handle is consistently scoped to the page.

Research direction

Start at the GqlPathFromGraph API, especially the nested page(...) field and columnar fields such as degree, then read the discussion on PR #2675. Done means the paging shape is revised so fields on a paged handle consistently refer to the restricted row set, with the chosen API behavior made clear.
