Investigating xEvents in SSAS 2016 CTP2

Last week I finally found some time to explore SQL Server 2016 CTP2 and considering I've spent quite a bit of time over the past 12 months performance tuning SSAS queries, I figured why not start with extended events. Plus, you can usually infer quite a bit from looking at the tracing capabilities Winking smile Note: everything in this post is relevant only to SQL Server 2016 CTP2. Changes in the product can (and likely will) occur before the final product is released. There is also a good bit of speculation in this post.
