Users can create DirectQuery models over any size data in sources, such as Spark and Azure SQL Data Warehouse, and then accelerate common queries by building in-memory aggregations over some of the data. Common queries use the aggregated cache to return results in a fraction of a second instead of directly querying the source. Users can create datasets of massive size and still provide interactive querying.
