Class BlobClient


public class BlobClient extends BlobClientBase
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 getBlobClient.

For operations on a specific blob type (i.e append, block, or page) use getAppendBlobClient, getBlockBlobClient, or getPageBlobClient to construct a client that allows blob specific operations.

Please refer to the Azure Docs for more information.

  • Field Details

    • BLOB_DEFAULT_UPLOAD_BLOCK_SIZE

      public static final int BLOB_DEFAULT_UPLOAD_BLOCK_SIZE
      The block size to use if none is specified in parallel operations.
      See Also:
    • BLOB_DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_BUFFERS

      public static final int BLOB_DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_BUFFERS
      The number of buffers to use if none is specied on the buffered upload method.
      See Also:
    • 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.
