Is a SSAS 2008 cube available to be queried while it's being rebuilt? If yes, then are there implications to querying it during a rebuild?

A:
Yes it is, OLAP will keep a copy until the rebuild has finished. If your rebuild process requires a significantly long downtime then the only implications would be the load placedd on your SQL Server and the freshness of the data being returned by the old copy of your cube.
