Checking retention policy for existing datasets
After a dataset is created, is there a way to check the retention policy? I have created some datasets using REST API described in this blog article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/automati...
I have the same issue on setting basicFIFO on creating new data set following the example here:
http://docs.powerbi.apiary.io/#reference/datasets/datasets-collection/create-a-dataset
I do not see any output from the HTTP request showing the dataset is indeed created as basicFIFO. I have tried to push 200,000 into one dataset created with defaultRetentionPolicy = basicFIFO. However, it does not seem to work, and the dataset keeps growing even after hitting 200,000 marks. So far, I have not found any way to resolve this.
I don't think its a hard limit on 200 k. I've seen the dataset grow as much as 211k before purging records and drop back to 206 k.
