"offset" can be passed transparently to db to retrieve a range of records while "cursor" is customarily implemented in the API layer. I think that's what "opaque" meant in GP's context.

A starting read is needed to obtain the first cursor, hence the synchronous read.

“opaque” here means we are hiding the real ID of the “cursor” item.

gotcha, thank you!
