Scans for stored records.

    Scans through the collection, returning stored values ordered by timestamp.

    Args:
      type_name: Type of the records to scan.
      after_timestamp: If set, only returns values recorded after timestamp.
      include_suffix: If true, the timestamps returned are pairs of the form
        (micros_since_epoc, suffix) where suffix is a 24 bit random refinement
        to avoid collisions. Otherwise only micros_since_epoc is returned.
      max_records: The maximum number of records to return. Defaults to
        unlimited.

    Yields:
      Pairs (timestamp, rdf_value), indicating that rdf_value was stored at
      timestamp.
