Query result parsing fails, but /items still return empty HTTP 200 result

This is due to the current streaming implementation. I think we could change the logic so that we first buffer a set of features before commiting to writing 200 OK (e.g. change BufferedResultSet to eagerly fetch the first batch of features, not lazily during first call to hasNext() so that we fail before any bytes are written to the OutputStream provided to us by the JAX-RS impl). That might do the trick depending on how the JAX-RS implementation acts. Otherwise it's bit larger change to the logic: we'd have to buffer the serialization phase by trying to write first n bytes to memory before returning Response.ok() to the JAX-RS implementation. Still doable though.

The error might occur when writing nth feature so it's difficult to determine the right amount of buffering. One megabyte might solve most problems but not all.

Also the highlighted issue might not be something hakunapi even aims to support (handling changes in sources after startup). Obviously it might be difficult to recognize these sorts of errors if service monitoring is configured to just check the status code. Not sure what would be correct move here.
