Azure Data Lake Gen2

What you need​

  • ADLS account and filesystem. A storage account with hierarchical namespace enabled, and the target filesystem (container).
  • One credential path. Either the account key or the Azure connection string.

Where to find it​

In the Azure Portal, open the storage account. The account name, filesystem and an account key or connection string are there.

Storage account name​

The name of the storage account, not its URL. In the Azure Portal, open Storage accounts and copy the name from the list or the account overview. It is 3 to 24 lowercase letters and numbers.

Container or filesystem​

The filesystem (container) KoraBridge writes into. In the storage account, open Data storage, then Containers, and copy its name. Create it first if it does not exist yet.

Account key​

Optional when you use a connection string. In the storage account, open Security + networking, then Access keys, choose Show and copy the Key value of key1 or key2. Fill in this field or the connection string, not both.

Connection string​

Optional when you use an account key. On the same Access keys page, copy the Connection string value that sits under the key. It already contains the account name and key. Fill in this field or the account key, not both.

Common mistakes​

  • Using a storage account without hierarchical namespace enabled. ADLS Gen2 needs it.
  • Supplying both credential styles, or using credentials without filesystem write permissions.
