enhacement of paramter "ignoreNull=true"

[afuerhoff]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to read the history data (without zero values) from the current day + the last valid value before the current day.
Settings: ignoreNull=true, start=current day midnight, end = current day/time
Output of history adapter: History data and count (from the current day).

Then I send the next message to the history adapter
with following settings: ignoreNull=true, end = current day/time, count = count + 1
Now I get not the correct data count if Null values included in the data. They are only filtered and the count is not count + 1.
It is less.

Describe the solution you'd like
If ignoreNull is set to true and the counter is e.g. = 10, then I want to get back 10 non-null values from the database.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Best solution is, when I can add an offset count to my first getHistory message. Then I need only one call of getHistory.
settings e.g.:
ignoreNull=true, start=current day midnight, end = current day/time, offset count = +1
