- Properly handle asynchronous read from stream (#1284) (55d86ba). This could result in silently dropped rows in a
createReadStream. The bug is active when theReadRowsstream would be piped into a consumer that would defer the processing of the rows until the next event loop run (i.e. use aTransformthat would defer the callback invocation viasetTimeout()).
