Object returned by Table::ReadRows(), enumerates rows in the response.
Thread-safety
Two threads operating concurrently on the same instance of this class or the iterators obtained from it are not guaranteed to work.
Iterate over the results of ReadRows() using the STL idioms.
The returned iterator is a single-pass input iterator that reads rows from the RowReader when incremented. The first row may be read when the iterator is constructed.
Creating, and particularly incrementing, multiple iterators on the same RowReader is unsupported and can produce incorrect results.
