--[[
  Function to achieve pagination for a set or hash.
  This function simulates pagination in the most efficient way possible
  for a set using sscan or hscan.

  The main limitation is that sets are not order preserving, so the
  pagination is not stable. This means that if the set is modified
  between pages, the same element may appear in different pages.
]] -- Maximum number of elements to be returned by sscan per iteration.
local maxCount = 100

-- Finds the cursor, and returns the first elements available for the requested page.
