Ingesting the StormEvents sample dataset
In the spirit of keeping the chapter both theoretical and practical, we are going to jump ahead a little and ingest an example dataset that Microsoft provides. Don't worry if you do not understand all the details, as data ingestion will be discussed in Chapter 4, Ingesting Data in Azure Data Explorer.
In the previous chapter, we created our ADX cluster and databases, but we did not ingest any data or create any tables. We are going to use a method called one-click ingestion, which is amazingly simple to use and is a great example of ADX allowing you to focus on exploring your data rather than worrying about the low-level details of ingestion.
As you will recall from Chapter 2, Building Your Azure Data Explorer Environment, the third step in the creation process is to ingest data, as shown in the following screenshot:
