3-2Monitor and optimize an analytics solution

A warehouse query is slow on its first run but fast afterward. Which column confirms a cold start pulled data from remote storage?

The data_scanned_remote_storage_mb valueCorrect · your answerCorrect.
The command text column of the queryThe command text does not confirm remote scanning.
The total_elapsed_time_ms column valueElapsed time alone does not distinguish a cold start.
The login_name column of the sessionThe login name is unrelated to cold-start detection.

Correct.

Concept

Cold starts fetch data from OneLake into memory; a query insights column reveals whether remote storage was scanned.

Why A

A nonzero data_scanned_remote_storage_mb value indicates a cold start.

Source

A nonzero value in data_scanned_remote_storage_mb indicates a cold start. The query execution fetched data from OneLake.
