1 This method is called once for each change event. It should be replaced based on your use case.
2 This method fetches the changes from the database.
3 This method is called once for each change.
4 Note that ExecuteReadAsync may retry failing queries. To avoid seeing the same change twice, update the cursor as the changes are applied.
5 The cursor is moved forward to keep it up-to-date. This may not be necessary in your use case. See Cursor Management for details.
6 Use this function to get the earliest available change id.
7 Use this function to get the current change id.
8 Wait for 500 milliseconds so that QueryChanges gets called repeatedly.
9 The results may be filtered to return a subset of changes. The out-commented line would select only node changes that have both Person and Employee labels.
