I'm using Datatables Version: 1.10.15, and got @kevenpo's answer to work. I had to modify it a bit to handle our server-side parameters, but that was the only stumbling block. I changed his line: data.length = 2147483647; to data.params[2]= -1; because we stored our server-side parameters in a params sub-array. I have not tested it yet with a very large dataset to see what the performance is, but this is a very clever solution.
