Azure Data Lake Analytics and querying data from linked data source (blob)


I would like to access/read/store file from linked (external) blob storage account - not from primary data lake store account. I added a new Data Source (external blob) in Azure Portal.

How can I specify that I need to read from external blob?

I found syntax in documentation (following example), but I do not understand what means BlobContainerName :

 wasb://<BlobContainerName>@<StorageAccountName>.blob.core.windows.net/Samples/Data/SearchLog.tsv

Thank you in advance

Peter


Solution

  • It's the name of your container. See Blob Service Concepts. See also, WASB_Path_URI (Windows Azure Blob Storage Path URI).
