Looker Pagination - Table Visualization Enhancements Preview

Looker Q&A Looker

Is the pagination preview feature that was announced here Looker release notes  |  Google Cloud Documentation client side pagination or server side pagination? If it is server side pagination then I assume row limits would no longer be an issue and users can see the entire result set (a page at a time) if they want to. But if it is client side pagination I assume row limits would still be an issue and this feature only really serves to change the size of the table visually speaking.

So which is it, server side pagination or client side pagination?

I tested it out and it looks like client side pagination. When I cycle through the pages there are no additional http requests made. Also, I don’t see any additional database calls in my db query history. Of course, the original query doesn’t show any sort of LIMIT or OFFSET clauses either.
