Exchanging metadata between computes

The Synapse workspace supports metadata exchange between the participating compute components; for example, if you create a Spark table, this is instantly available within the serverless SQL pool for querying.

Let's check this behavior and try to query the Spark table that you have created in Chapter 9, Integrating Azure Cognitive Services and Machine Learning:

SELECT *
FROM [default].[dbo].[YOURSPARKTABLE]

The Synapse workspace will add more metadata exchange functionality over time. This will allow all the computes to access each other's objects easily and in a frictionless way.
