@mistercrunch I think from my perspective, I don't really care much about "Business Intelligence." I care about easy data presentation. I can't say for the Apache Superset community what Superset should become. Should it be, as you suggest, a subset of the data presentation space focused on the minimum standard of Business Intelligence, or should it be broadly more functional for scientific and statistical data presentation with BI simplifications? From the first paragraph of the documentation: "It is fast, lightweight, **intuitive**, and loaded with options that make it easy for users of **all skill sets** to **explore and visualize their data**". Many users here are saying forcing aggregation is not user-friendly, does not meet the needs of experienced data scientists and technical users, and makes exploring data difficult or impossible with SuperSet. Even for business intelligence applications, most BI experts will want the ability to see the raw data superimposed on their aggregated measures to notice outliers that might not match the filters they have predefined for alerting them to outliers. Forcing data to be hidden/aggregated adds a layer of indirection that can only lead to frustration and users avoiding SuperSet in favor of alternatives. I would suggest SuperSet could easy support large dataset visualization similar to how matplotlib implements datashaders. On the backend, if the datapoints requested exceed the resolution of the plotting canvas, assume datashading is desired unless explicitly disabled. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
