Telerik remote virtualization (Kendo Grid)

I have a question about how the Telerik grid stores data internally after fetching it as part of infinite scroll operations. I am using the remote virtualization mode and fetch new records through Ajax calls.

I am able to access the data set that is currently bound to the grid through:

$("#Grid").data().kendoGrid.dataSource.view()

As expected the grid makes an Ajax request to request new pages, but it seems to store data for previous pages in an object somewhere. Is there a way to acccess that object through the cient side API? Meaning can I view all the data for all the pages that were requested by the grid (not just the current page)?

I have also noticed that the grid will often make the same Ajax request twice during scrolling (for the same page number). Is there a way to prevent this since the duplicate request seems to return the same data as the previous one.

All the data is stored in chunks of data called "ranges" within the internal _ranges array.

You can cycle through all the loaded data like this:

var chunks = $('#gridName').data().kendoGrid.dataSource._ranges
for(var i=0;i<chunks.length;i++){
    for(var j=0;j<chunks[i].data.length;j++){
        console.log(chunks[i].data[j])
    }
}

Regarding the multiple same requests - I think this is addressed and if it is not already fixed in the latest internal build it should be in the nearest releases.
