This class provides a client that contains generic blob operations for Azure Storage Blobs. Operations allowed by the client are uploading and downloading, copying a blob, retrieving and setting metadata, retrieving and setting HTTP headers, and deleting and un-deleting a blob.

This client is instantiated through BlobClientBuilder or retrieved via getBlobAsyncClient(String blobName) .

For operations on a specific blob type (i.e. append, block, or page) use getAppendBlobAsyncClient() , getBlockBlobAsyncClient() , or getPageBlobAsyncClient() to construct a client that allows blob specific operations.

Please refer to the Azure Docs for more information.

upload(Flux<ByteBuffer> data, ParallelTransferOptions parallelTransferOptions, boolean overwrite)

Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob.

uploadFromFile(String filePath, ParallelTransferOptions parallelTransferOptions, BlobHttpHeaders headers, Map<String,String> metadata, AccessTier tier, BlobRequestConditions requestConditions)

Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob, with the content of the specified file.

uploadWithResponse(Flux<ByteBuffer> data, ParallelTransferOptions parallelTransferOptions, BlobHttpHeaders headers, Map<String,String> metadata, AccessTier tier, BlobRequestConditions requestConditions)

Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob.

BLOB_DEFAULT_HTBB_UPLOAD_BLOCK_SIZE

public static final int BLOB_DEFAULT_HTBB_UPLOAD_BLOCK_SIZE

If a blob is known to be greater than 100MB, using a larger block size will trigger some server-side optimizations. If the block size is not set and the size of the blob is known to be greater than 100MB, this value will be used.

Code Samples

client.upload(BinaryData.fromString("Data!")).subscribe(response ->
     System.out.printf("Uploaded BlockBlob MD5 is %s%n",
         Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(response.getContentMd5())));
						
Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob.
Code Samples
boolean overwrite = false; // Default behavior
 client.upload(BinaryData.fromString("Data!"), overwrite).subscribe(response ->
     System.out.printf("Uploaded BlockBlob MD5 is %s%n",
         Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(response.getContentMd5())));
						
Creates a new block blob. By default, this method will not overwrite an existing blob.
Updating an existing block blob overwrites any existing metadata on the blob. Partial updates are not supported with this method; the content of the existing blob is overwritten with the new content. To perform a partial update of a block blob's, use stageBlock(String base64BlockId, Flux<ByteBuffer> data, long length) and commitBlockList(List<String> base64BlockIds). For more information, see the Azure Docs for Put Block and the Azure Docs for Put Block List.
The data passed need not support multiple subscriptions/be replayable as is required in other upload methods when retries are enabled, and the length of the data need not be known in advance. Therefore, this method does support uploading any arbitrary data source, including network streams. This behavior is possible because this method will perform some internal buffering as configured by the blockSize and numBuffers parameters, so while this method may offer additional convenience, it will not be as performant as other options, which should be preferred when possible.
Typically, the greater the number of buffers used, the greater the possible parallelism when transferring the data. Larger buffers means we will have to stage fewer blocks and therefore require fewer IO operations. The trade-offs between these values are context-dependent, so some experimentation may be required to optimize inputs for a given scenario.
Code Samples
ParallelTransferOptions parallelTransferOptions = new ParallelTransferOptions()
     .setBlockSizeLong(blockSize)
     .setMaxConcurrency(maxConcurrency);
 client.upload(data, parallelTransferOptions).subscribe(response ->
     System.out.printf("Uploaded BlockBlob MD5 is %s%n",
         Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(response.getContentMd5())));
									- The data to write to the blob. Unlike other upload methods, this method does not require that the
Flux be replayable. In other words, it does not have to support multiple subscribers and is not expected
to produce the same values across subscriptions.
								parallelTransferOptions
									- ParallelTransferOptions used to configure buffered uploading.
							
Returns:
							
A reactive response containing the information of the uploaded block blob.
