1 This method is called once for each change.
2 This query fetches the changes from the database.
3 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.
4 A function is called once for each change.
5 Note that executeRead may retry failing queries. To avoid seeing the same change twice, update the cursor as the changes are applied.
6 Use this function to get the earliest available change id.
7 Use this function to get the current change id.
8 Schedule such 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 and exclude all relationship changes.
