Question about how Dataflows and Dataset work
1. yes, but why would you do that?
2. yes, Parqet files in the Azure cloud. Not accessible directly.
3. no
4. define "conflict". They potentially will be out of sync. But refreshes for dataflows and datasets do not impact the "current" data until the refresh completes successfully at which point the data will be swapped in. If the refresh fails then the "current" data continues to be available.
5. Depends. The purpose of a dataflow is to shield you (the developer) from slow data sources. It does nothing for your report users, and is not very useful if you have a high performance data source.
