Vaadin Grid with CallbackDataProvider always throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: - vaadin

Question

I am trying to optimize the loading of a big table in my application into a com.vaadin.flow.component.grid.Grid. For that - instead of passing the entire, huge List<HistoryElement> using grid.setItems(allData) (which always caused lengthy freezing of the UI) - I am now using a CallbackDataProvider, that's returning the elements between offset and offset + limit as a Stream<HistoryElement>. The implementation is very similar to the example here: How to Vaadin CallbackDataProvider make an asyncronous fetch data?, i.e. I always create a Stream from a fraction (a sublist(...)) of the entire list.
In principle this seems to works except each time when I scroll towards the end of the list, i.e. when the offset + limit reaches the maximum of available elements. At that point I always get a huge exception stack trace like below (only the offending index varies).
But: there is not a single line of my own code in that trace! How can I avoid this IndexOutOfBoundsException? WHat might I be doing wrong here that later triggers that exception? Or could it be that the index calculation inside the Grid-widget is faulty?
Any hints would be appreciated!
This is using Vaadin v22.0.2 and Java 11.

I found the reason! The CallbackDataProvider has to implement two methods, one providing a count of all available items and the other that allows the widget to request a chunk of data. In my case - due to a wrong argument passed to the underlying filtering done by the service that provides the count as well as the data - the count did not always match the number of items actually retrievable. That mismatch obviously caused the widget to throw these IndexOutOfBounds exceptions. My bad...
