Jan 22, 2016 at 22:13 comment added Martin Smith Yes it definitely looks like something fixed in later versions. I produced a simple repro here pastebin.com/7f4TwmKW and on a test server running 11.0.5343.0 found my request for a sample size of 10,000 rows was ignored and all 8,000,000 rows sampled i.sstatic.net/DbbjZ.png (plan much the same as the one in the question) - But I don't encounter this on Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP3) (KB3072779) - 11.0.6020.0 (rows sampled there is 274,649 which is pretty close to the estimated number of rows in the earlier build and the plan uses the CI rather than the columnstore.)

Jan 22, 2016 at 13:36 comment added Martin Smith (Regarding the last paragraph) SELECT WebAnalyticsId, MarketKey from [dbo].[factWebAnalytics] TABLESAMPLE (897667 ROWS) ORDER BY MarketKey, WebAnalyticsId runs in less than 30 seconds for me. It doesn't use the columnstore index though. It uses the clustered index.
