Related #626 The existing vector iterator is very unoptimized because the map iterator removes the nth implementation, meaning any pagination will iterate all elements. This led us to recommend ugly patterns such as https://www.near-sdk.io/contract-structure/collections#pagination-with-persistent-collections when you should have been able to just use iterators with
skip
andtake
.Since this
Vector
is used in legacy Unordered collections, I think this is a high leverage change, which is completely backwards compatible. Considering even backporting this as a patch version to the v3 so it doesn't require an upgrade to use it.Just to be clear, this is not a problem with the
store::Vector
, just this legacy one.
