Right, makes sense, I'll try and check out what's available then. :)

By writing to the model, you mean programmatically adding new measures or the like?

My interest is in programmatically querying models using DAX, though to this end I'd also look to look in the direction of Microsoft's DirectQuery mode in SQL Server which supposedly did DAX-to-SQL conversion.

If one could use such a conversion plus MDX to start querying models on an Apache Spark cluster through pivot table/chart interfaces...

Not even measures, I'm just wanting to be able to create tables, define relations, etc, with the accompanying sql or m script. I'm hopeful they'll let us do that some day, but I still don't quite believe they've changed their stripes entirely.
