Conclusion
Skytable 0.8.4 has a critical bug with SELECT query handling via skytable-py that makes the database unusable for read operations. This is either:
- An undocumented breaking change in Skytable 0.8.4
- A regression bug introduced in 0.8.3 or 0.8.4
- A protocol incompatibility with the Python client
