20   * A completion handler for consuming the results of a query request.
21   * <p>
22   * A query result completion handler may be specified when performing query
23   * requests using a {@link Connection} object. The {@link #handleResource}
24   * method is invoked for each resource which matches the query criteria,
25   * followed by returning a {@link QueryResponse} or a {@link ResourceException}
26   * indicating that no more JSON resources will be returned.
27   * <p>
28   * Implementations of these methods should complete in a timely manner so as to
29   * avoid keeping the invoking thread from dispatching to other completion
30   * handlers.

32   * <b>Synchronization note:</b> each invocation of
33   * {@link #handleResource(ResourceResponse) handleResource} for a resource <i><a href=
34   * "http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"
35   * >happens-before</a></i> the invocation of {@code handleResource} for the next
36   * resource. Invocation of {@code handleResource} for the final resource
37   * <i>happens-before</i> returning a {@link QueryResponse} or a
38   * {@link ResourceException} are invoked with the final query status. In other
39   * words, query resource handler method invocations will occur sequentially and
40   * one at a time.
