The Lazy Spool is actually very similar to the Eager Spool; the difference is just that Lazy Spool reads data only when individual rows are required. It create a temporary table and build this table in a “lazy” manner; that is, it reads and stores the rows in a temporary table only when the parent operator actually asks for a row, unlike Eager Spool, which reads all rows at once. To refer back to some material I covered in the Eager Spool explanation, the Lazy Spool is a Non-blocking operator, whereas Eager Spool is a Blocking Operator.
