Description

There are rumors / vague feelings that the old `influx` CLI only supported returning a max of 100mb via `influx query`. We should stress-test the new implementation to see what the limits are.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation and existing tests for the `influx query` command. Run progressively larger queries against the new implementation to determine whether a response-size limit exists and how it behaves near that limit. The work is done when the observed limit and test results are recorded clearly, with regression coverage where the repository's tests support it.
