Question 360
A Fabric ingestion design uses OneLake shortcuts for shared data. The current environment exhibits the following problem: an external shortcut is slow for a complex repeated query. Which corrective action addresses the root cause?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Evaluate appropriate query caching, acceleration, or materialization for its consumer engine. Remote reads can incur latency that requires engine-specific optimization.
Incorrect Answers
A shortcut's external connection lacks source-system credentials. External sources are accessed with stored delegated credentials.
A team wants to transform and permanently own a derived copy rather than view the source. Shortcuts are pointers and do not produce independent transformed datasets.
Cross-team Lakehouse readers need current Delta data without a copied dataset. Shortcuts reference existing data and avoid replica freshness lag.
