One should be able to set the minimum for fetched table row count

[Henri Muurimaa]

Currently table fetches only the rows that are displayed. This results in speed-wise unneccessary loads when scrolling a short table.

This should be added to Table API if not exists already, Matti please check this.

I'd like some comments from real users of Table component (read : Henkka and Marc).

This can currently be done by also using setHeight from Sizeable interface like this:

table.setPagelength = 600;
table.setHeight = 300px;

BUT IMO this is bit ugly way to do this, because this forces Java-developer to know how client side works. Assume that table has n+2000 rows. What now exactly happens, is on first load user gets 600 rows and then client JS automatically fetches 3 * 600 rows for cache purposes, so there will be 2400 rows loaded and rendered totally (which is pretty heavy.

What I'd consider better would be to make "cacheRate" a configurable option on Java side. Then Java developer could set "height" by only defining how many rows to show for user and still adjust caching. I'd look something like this:

table.setPagelenght = 10;
table.setCacheRate = 7.7;

"Now there would be ten rows shown to user (at once), but 77 rows would be fetched in background to smoothen scrolling."
