Using gateway for Azure SQL DB and Cloudera Hive

Hi,

We have 2 data sources, one in Cloudera Hive and the other on Azure SQL DB.

Data size is around 200 MB on azure SQL DB and 2GB  in Cloudera Hive. The data size is not going to increase beyond another 25%.

So we intend to go with import mode for Azure SQL DB and Direct Query for cloudera.

Will it cause a problem in schedulingvif we try to mix Direct Query and Import mode?

I have had problems earlier working with oline source and imported data as part of the same data set.

Also, should I install data gateway on Azure VM for Azure SQL DB or will it auto refresh?
