Is this a documentation error?

On the webpage https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-oracle?tabs=data-factory, I think the bold text here "The number of bytes the connector can fetch in a single network round trip. E.g., ArraySize=‭10485760‬. Larger values increase throughput by reducing the number of times to fetch data across the network. Smaller values increase response time, as there is less of a delay waiting for the server to transmit data." should be shorten instead? Please clarify on it.

    Hey, it looks like you're questioning whether a part of the documentation on the Azure Data Factory Oracle connector might need clarification or simplification. Specifically, you're referring to the explanation about the ArraySize parameter and its impact on data fetching strategies.

    Here's a more concise interpretation:

    Current Text:

    "The number of bytes the connector can fetch in a single network round trip. E.g., ArraySize=‭10485760‬. Larger values increase throughput by reducing the number of times to fetch data across the network. Smaller values increase response time, as there is less of a delay waiting for the server to transmit data."

    Suggested Shortened Version:

    "This value defines the number of bytes fetched in one network trip. For example, setting ArraySize=‭10485760‬ enhances throughput but may increase response time due to reduced fetch frequency."

    This revision maintains the essential information while making it a bit clearer and more concise.

    If this approach does not address your concerns, could you let me know what specific parts you think could be confusing, or do you have particular sections that seem unclear?

    Follow-Up Questions:

    1. What specific aspects of the current text do you find unclear?
    2. Are there particular terms or concepts that you feel might benefit from additional explanations?
    3. Would you like to provide any examples that could help illustrate your point?

    Hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to discuss.
