Fabric having issues importing or ingesting json files and responses
- 3 months ago
Hi smeetsh , Yeah, I think the issue is with the JSON complexity rather than the payload size too. Fabric generally handles large JSON files fine, but deeply nested and irregular schemas with optional arrays/objects can make the automatic schema import struggle or hang. The fact that even the smaller endpoint failed during schema import points more toward a schema inference limitation than a pure performance problem.
Your notebook -> Lakehouse -> ETL/Warehouse approach is probably the better fit here anyway. Spark gives you much more control over flattening arrays, handling nullable branches and managing evolving schemas compared to relying on automatic inference in the import UI.
Hi smeetsh , Hope you are doing well. Kindly let us know if the issue has been resolved or if further assistance is needed. Your input could be helpful to others in the community.
