Description

Currently, we can search for all entities of type like a hive table or hive column (query string is hive_table or hive_column). The API returns all results at one shot in this case. With a sufficiently large number of entities, this would be a huge list and a lot of data flowing from server to UI. To scale this better, we should have a way of specifying to get a page of results at a time in the API.
