I'm surprised I haven't seen a post on this, but maybe the answers are obvious. I'm using a cursor to page the results. If I want to enable reverse paging (go back one page) I have to either:
a) Keep a map of all cursor marks the user made paging forward. This map could get very long if a user did page to the end of 5M results. b) Reverse the sort order on the search. Then I would need to sort the results for the page in reverse order to put the them back in the order expected by the user. So (b) seems like the reasonable solution, and it should support the jump forward/backward N pages feature if I had to build that in. Is this the right way to support backward paging with cursors?
