Unable to display this webpart error when connected to data using BCS services

Well in my case it was a known issue, data throttling. Challenge was not to fix the issue but was to figure out what the issue is .

Generic error like "Webpart error" doesn't help.

1) First issue was to figure out the issue.

Solution :
Use ULS Viewer, it's very handy in such situation :

2) How to throttle the data. This one was a quick one. Pretty good article in this team blog.
