As we know – Export to Data Lake service enables continues replication of CDS entity data to Azure Data Lake Gen 2
Below are some the interesting update coming to it –
Configurable Snapshot Interval – currently the snapshots are created hourly– which will be configurable.
Cross Tenant Support – Currently Azure Data Lake Gen2 and CDS environment needs to be in same tenant. With the new update we will be able to use Azure Storage part of a different tenant.
Dashboard support that will show the count and visual trend of records especially helpful for large data sets.
Parquet format support – currently the CDS entity data is exported in .csv format, going forward with 2020 Release wave 2, the support for Parquet format will be added for improved efficiency terms of storage and performance.
Support for exporting Audit data that can be used for analysis and reporting.
Support for entities with attachments
