Abstract
A query referencing an external table function provided by a remote software component is received. Requests to execute the external table function on input data are sent to a proxy service. A first request includes a batch of input rows from the input data. A first response to the first request received from the proxy service includes a first portion of result data and a pagination token. The pagination token indicates that at least a second portion of the result data corresponding to the first batch of input rows is to be obtained from the remote software component. Based on the pagination token, a second request is sent to obtain the second portion of the result data. One or more responses are received from the proxy service that comprise at least the second portion of the result data. The result data is processed according to the query.
