Export data to cache in a flowlet

Question

Is there any way to have a cache type sink in a flowlet in Azure Data Factory? It doesn't seem like it's an option. Or is there a way to achieve the same thing? If not is adding a Cache sink type in flowlets a planned feature?

The scenario I'm trying to solve is that I have a number of data flow sources and cached sinks that can be parameterized and reused across multiple data flows but I need to be able to write to the cache in the flowlet because some of the sources in the flowlet would use the cached data.

Answer 1

Hello @John Neubecker ,
Just heard back from the product team and yes you are correct ,currently, sinks are not supported in flowlets .
Using a cache inside of a Flowlet is an interesting use case and one that we can consider as an enhancement.
