### Read behavior

`get_analytics` queries read against the latest committed data without holding a consistent read
snapshot open for the duration of the query. This minimizes the impact of long-running analytics
scans on the rest of the system — a query never pins a snapshot that would otherwise block storage
compaction for its duration. The trade-off is that results are not guaranteed to reflect a single point in
time: rows written while the query is iterating may be included.
