Thanks for writing this document. It's very helpful. I've following questions:
1) Doc says... "Kylin will build dictionaries in memory (in next version this will be moved to MR)". Which version can we expect this in? For large Cubes this process takes a long time on local machine. We really need to move this to the Hadoop cluster. In fact, it will be great if we can have an option to run this under Spark -:) 2) About the "Build N-Dimension Cuboid" step. Does Kylin build ALL Cuboids? My understanding is: Total no. of Cuboids = (2 to the power of # of dimensions) - 1 Correct? So if there are 7 dimensions, there will be 127 Cuboids, right? Does Kylin create ALL of them? I was under the impression that, after some point, Kylin will just get measures from the Base Cuboid; instead of building all of them. Please explain. Thanks.
