Streaming dataset via ASA + other tables in same dataset via REST API?
Is it possible to have a streaming dataset with the following properties: 1) Fact table is created/populated via Azure Stream Analytics 2) Dimension tables create/populated via C#/REST API 3) R...
I am also interested in this problem.
I believe that it is not officially supported, as the warning in step 3 here states that existing datasets (with the same name) will be overwritten by ASA.
However, I have noticed that if there is any existing data in the dataset and you say, add or remove a column in the ASA output, then the old rows remain.
It is possible that if you create the tables and relationships in C# before starting the ASA Job they will continue to work after ASA begins populating data, but I have not tested it. And have not seen any documentation saying it would work.
If you do get this working, I'd love to hear how you did it.
