Abstract
Techniques are described for prefetching analytic results across multiple levels of a dimension in a multidimensional dataset. In some embodiments, an application layer sends a request to view a summary of a multidimensional dataset, where the request targets a first level of a particular dimension of the multidimensional dataset. In response to receiving the request, a pre-fetch range is determined. The pre-fetch range identifies how many levels to analyze along the particular dimension of the multidimensional dataset. At least one analytical operation is performed for the first level of the particular dimension and one or more levels that are within the pre-fetch range of the first level. A first analytic result for the first level is returned to the application layer. For each respective level of the one or more levels within the pre-fetch range, a respective analytic result is stored in a cache.
