Hi,all
I think kylin fit well for the relationship of “many-to-one” scene. But for
many-to-many situation, I didn't find a lot information or technic
directions.
I have read  KYLIN-1875 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-1875> 
,
in "Enforced joint" part liyang said "This limitation is a problem for
many-to-many relationships. User can work around by creating multiple
models, for example let each fact table has its own model."
But I coundn't understand how it works...can you tell some detail?

For example, we have following schema
Dimensions : Province->City  is a hierarchy group
Facts: userAction

Province             Province_City                      Fact_table
     P1                   P1    C1                     100(userId) 
C1,C2,C3(cities)
                           P1    C2
     P2                   P2    C3

For each userAction will impact multiple cities(belong to same province or
not)
Sql will query the "count(action)" of each userId by the hierarchy
dimension. 
I have tried multiply the userActions by cities,but in query if city not
choosed,the result will be dup.

If we keep original fact size, Kylin doesn't allow bridge table for join key
must be unique.
Can we use one cube or model to solve this? If not,how can two model work in
coordination?
