Class AppendBlobClient

java.lang.Object
com.azure.storage.blob.specialized.BlobClientBase
com.azure.storage.blob.specialized.AppendBlobClient

public final class AppendBlobClient extends BlobClientBase
Client to an append blob. It may only be instantiated through a SpecializedBlobClientBuilder or via the method BlobClient.getAppendBlobClient(). This class does not hold any state about a particular blob, but is instead a convenient way of sending appropriate requests to the resource on the service.

This client contains operations on a blob. Operations on a container are available on BlobContainerClient, and operations on the service are available on BlobServiceClient.

Please refer to the Azure Docs for more information.

    • appendBlock

      public AppendBlobItem appendBlock(InputStream data, long length)
      Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob.

      Note that the data passed must be replayable if retries are enabled (the default). In other words, the Flux must produce the same data each time it is subscribed to.

      Code Samples

       System.out.printf("AppendBlob has %d committed blocks%n",
           client.appendBlock(data, length).getBlobCommittedBlockCount());
       
      Parameters:
      data - The data to write to the blob. The data must be markable. This is in order to support retries. If the data is not markable, consider using getBlobOutputStream() and writing to the returned OutputStream. Alternatively, consider wrapping your data source in a BufferedInputStream to add mark support.
      length - The exact length of the data. It is important that this value match precisely the length of the data emitted by the Flux.
      Returns:
      The information of the append blob operation.
    • appendBlockWithResponse

      public Response<AppendBlobItem> appendBlockWithResponse(InputStream data, long length, byte[] contentMd5, AppendBlobRequestConditions appendBlobRequestConditions, Duration timeout, Context context)
      Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob.

      Note that the data passed must be replayable if retries are enabled (the default). In other words, the Flux must produce the same data each time it is subscribed to.

      Code Samples

       byte[] md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest("data".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
       AppendBlobRequestConditions requestConditions = new AppendBlobRequestConditions()
           .setAppendPosition(POSITION)
           .setMaxSize(maxSize);
       Context context = new Context("key", "value");
      
       System.out.printf("AppendBlob has %d committed blocks%n",
           client.appendBlockWithResponse(data, length, md5, requestConditions, timeout, context)
               .getValue().getBlobCommittedBlockCount());
       
      Parameters:
      data - The data to write to the blob. The data must be markable. This is in order to support retries. If the data is not markable, consider using getBlobOutputStream() and writing to the returned OutputStream. Alternatively, consider wrapping your data source in a BufferedInputStream to add mark support.
      length - The exact length of the data. It is important that this value match precisely the length of the data emitted by the Flux.
      contentMd5 - An MD5 hash of the block content. This hash is used to verify the integrity of the block during transport. When this header is specified, the storage service compares the hash of the content that has arrived with this header value. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. If the two hashes do not match, the operation will fail.
      appendBlobRequestConditions - AppendBlobRequestConditions
      timeout - An optional timeout value beyond which a RuntimeException will be raised.
      context - Additional context that is passed through the Http pipeline during the service call.
      Returns:
      A Response whose value contains the append blob operation.
      Throws:
      UnexpectedLengthException - when the length of data does not match the input length.
      NullPointerException - if the input data is null.
    • appendBlockFromUrl

      public AppendBlobItem appendBlockFromUrl(String sourceUrl, BlobRange sourceRange)

      Returns:
      The information of the append blob operation.
