Load Snapshots in a Named Variable
This query creates a variable, named coffee, to stream the selected snapshots and then use in further RAQL queries. The snapshot query retrieves all snapshots for a single mashable, the sample Yahoo local search mashable identified by ID:
Once the dataset has been loaded, the RAQL query can act on the dataset or it can be stored in the MashZone NextGen Analytics In-Memory Stores.
The full EMML for this sample is:
