The expectation (or hope) was that an identical number of record sets
would be available for each loop iteration in such a data processing approach
by the server.
But the reality is different for the observed input value distribution.

This is a software design option. I am looking again for adjustments
around programming interfaces for efficient appending to mapped data
according to required context management.

Is this the software behaviour we usually get from
the class “socketserver.ThreadingMixIn”?

I showed an experiment where I put a loop around a test command.
I am wondering also about varying data processing results from
the execution of a single command. The visualisation of output
statistics seems to be more challenging for such a test case.
Can any other test tools help a bit more here?
