Connecting to Spark HD Insight via Direct Query from Desktop Power BI
cbsalling Ok. I understand your position, and understand what you are after. I'm merely confirming what you probably already know. There are differences between the Service and Desktop especially as it relates to data sources and connections. This is one of those differences. You can't currently do what you want to in the Desktop because DQ to that source is not supported.
Depending on priorities, I would assume since it is in the Service, it would just be a matter of time before it is an option in the Desktop, but I don't know for certain.

I understand that but there are features that are only available in Power BI Desktop that I would like to include in my report. For example, I would like to establish row-level security. So I need to be able to set up a report in the Power BI desktop then push it to the cloud and have it connect via direct query there.
