Understand ContentProviderType

[BindiyaThota]

Hi,

I am trying to understand various "ContentProviderType" for datasets (few listed below), what each of them mean especially sets (1, 2, 3) & (4, 5, 6) where the latter set is prefixed with 'Pbix'.

1. InCompositeMode
2. InDirectQueryMode
3. InImportMode
4. PbixInCompositeMode
5. PbixInDirectQueryMode
6. PbixInImportMode
7. RealTimeInPushMode
8. RealTimeInStreamingMode
9. Unknown
10. UsageMetricsUserReport
11. etc

I referred below links but they don't help me. They only have a one-liner (see below) and does not explain the above list in detail.

ContentProviderType

string

The content provider type for the dataset

Can anyone share any other links where each 'ContentProviderType' is thoroughly explained? 

Thanks!
