BlobStorage: Possibility of downloading a batch of blobs
casparjespersen opened this issue · 5 comments
Which service(blob, file, queue) does this issue concern?
blob
Which version of the SDK was used? Please provide the output of pip freeze
.
azure-storage-blob==1.4.0
azure-storage-common==1.4.0
What problem was encountered?
I am missing the possibility of downloading/reading a batch of blobs (specifically a "folder") -- a functionality which is already present in the Azure CLI (az storage blob download-batch
). I am currently using the service.get_blob_to_text(container: str, path: str)
, and I imagine the syntax being service.get_blobs_to_text(container: str, paths: iterable)
.
Have you found a mitigation/solution?
Currently I am reading the files one-by-one, which generates a performance overhead.
Hi @casparjespersen, thanks for reaching out!
We already have this feature on our roadmap, but I unfortunately do not have a timeline to share yet.
@zezha-msft Any progress update on this?
Sorry @dreamflasher, there is no update for now, as we've been working on a new version of the SDK.
I created a Python wrapper for the Azure CLI to do downloads / uploads in batches, see here for more details:
Installation:
pip install azurebatchload
See the GitHub repo for usage examples.
Other than @erfannariman 's noble attempt, is there any update for this getting support from the offical sdk?
