Spring Data JPA Java - get Last 10 records from query
Solution 1
The question is how efficient it would be such on option, especially against large data sets.
I would go for a descending index, which I could query using the maxResult support, as you already figured it out.
This is no way a hack. If you were to match 100M results only to get the last X ones, this method would yield the best results.
Solution 2
Spring Data JPA 1.7 has introduced 'top' and 'first' as keywords in derived queries so now we can do like:
public interface UserRepository extends Repository<User, Long> {
List<User> findFirst10ByUsername(String username);
}

Solution 3
PageRequest could be extremely useful for it. There are many options for to construct the PageRequest.
So, an option possible is:
Pageable topTen = new PageRequest(0, 10, Direction.ASC, "username");
List<User> result = repository.findByUsername("Matthews", topTen);
I also use without parameters (conditions about object).
@Query(value="select p from Person p")
public List<Person> findWithPageable(Pageable pageable);
And call:
repository.findWithPageable(new PageRequest(0, 10, Direction.DESC, "id"));
Solution 4
You can do this to get the 10 last records filter by the Username:
List<User> findFirst10ByUsernameOrderByIdDesc(String username);

Is there a way to retrieve the last X number of results from a query?
For example - If want the first ten results, I see that example here works: setMaxResults for Spring-Data-JPA annotation?
public interface UserRepository extends Repository<User, Long> { List<User> findByUsername(String username, Pageable pageable); } //and then I could call it like this Pageable topTen = new PageRequest(0, 10); List<User> result = repository.findByUsername("Matthews", topTen);
But how do I get the LAST ten records?
The only way I could think of doing it would be to flip the order in the query (findByUsernameDesc, assuming original results were ascending) and then iterate through the list backwards so I can process it in the order I wanted (ascending).
That seems like an ugly way to do it. Is there a way to have the query give me the last X results in the order I want?
