Gen2 Dataflow to Warehouse - really slow performance
hi v-cboorla-msft , I'm actually in the process of getting this ready to test right now. I was able to successfully load about 1 billion rows of transactions into a lakehouse using Gen2 dataflows (running multiple dataflows in parallel across several gateway clusters). Now I'll try copying those across to a DWH using the copy utility. I'll update this post as soon as I have results to report (this is a side project so might be a couple of days).
One question / idea - if really feels to my like the underlying Dataflow Gen2 "engine" should be able to tap into the spark compute just like notebooks do. Similar to how it "pushes down" SQL queries to a database. Wish it could "push down" some of this type of work to spark - seems like it would be much faster.
Thanks!
Scott
