Partitioned Compute with Fabric Dataflows Gen2

Chris Webb continues to test out Fabric Dataflow Gen2 performance:

In the first part of this series I showed how the Concurrency setting in a Fabric Dataflows Gen2 can affect refresh performance when there are multiple queries inside the dataflow. In this post I will show how, with Partitioned Compute, this setting can also affect the performance of a single query within a dataflow.

To test this I created a dataflow with one query, a modified version of the query that I used in this post from earlier this year which returns a table with ten rows and calls a function with a built-in delay of 60 seconds on each row.

This is a preview feature but Chris shows a simple but effective test to demonstrate how this capability works.

WinGet and Path Not Updating

Justin Bird ran into some trouble:

Whilst I predominantly use MacOS, I do have to run a Windows VM for certain apps (cough Power BI cough). I ran into an issue recently when trying to installing apps on a vanilla Windows 10 build using Winget via the terminal in VS Code.

After installing the app, I found that the PATH environment variable was not updated, which meant I couldn’t run the app from the command line without specifying the full path.

Read on to learn what the issue was and how Justin was able to fix it.
