In Mobile environment, it's currently a bit of a challenge to deal with large number of documents (10s of thousands) with firestore, because the time and bandwidth required to download the entire data always is not neglectable.
Sometimes I only want to know the id and last updated timestamp of a document, so that I can do a comparison to know which documents have been outdated and then I only download the outdated document. However, with the current firestore, we'll always have to download all the complete documents.

If caching is what currently makes this feature difficult to be supported, is it possible to at least support in a query that only reads from server? Currently Firestore already supports specifying the source when reading data, also there are already some exceptions like the aggregation queries, which only work for server queried but not cache queries.
So I'm thinking that maybe we can have a query and realtime listener that is server only which can then support field selection?
