> RVCs along with the LIMIT clause are useful for efficiently paging through 
> rows (see [http://phoenix.apache.org/paged.html]). This works well if the pk 
> columns are sorted ascending, we can always use the > operator to query for 
> the next batch of row. 
> However if the PK of a table is (A  DESC, B DESC) we cannot use the following 
> query to page through the data
> {code:java}
> SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE (A, B) > (?, ?) ORDER BY A DESC, B DESC LIMIT 20
> {code}
> Since the rows are sorted by A desc and then by B descending we need change 
> the comparison order
> {code:java}
> SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE (A, B) < (?, ?) ORDER BY A DESC, B DESC LIMIT 20
> {code}
> If the PK of a table contains columns with mixed sort order for eg (A  DESC, 
> B) then we cannot use RVC to page through data. 
> If we supported using RVCs in the offset clause we could use the offset to 
> set the start row of the scan. Clients would not have to have logic to 
> determine the comparison operator. This would also support paging through 
> data for tables where the PK columns are sorted in mixed order. 
> {code:java}
> SELECT * FROM TABLE ORDER BY A DESC, B LIMIT 20 OFFSET (?,?)
> {code}
> We would only allow using the offset if the rows are ordered by the sort 
> order of the PK columns.
