          Retrieves records from a given table, optionally filtered by an expression and/or sorted by a column. This operation can be performed on tables and views. Records can be returned encoded as binary, json, or geojson.
          <p> This operation supports paging through the data via the <a href="/content/api/java/com/gpudb/protocol/GetRecordsRequest#getOffset()"><code>offset</code></a> and <a href="/content/api/java/com/gpudb/protocol/GetRecordsRequest#getLimit()"><code>limit</code></a> parameters. Note that when paging through a table, if the table (or the underlying table in case of a view) is updated (records are inserted, deleted or modified) the records retrieved may differ between calls based on the updates applied.</p>
