I want to upload binary files from Windows FileSystem to Azure blob. I achieved it with Azure data factory with the below steps
Installed integration run time on the FileSystem
Created a linked service in ADF as FileSystem
Created a binary dataset with the above linked service
Use CopyData activity in a ADF Pipeline, set the binary dataset as source and Azure Blob as Sink
Post upload, I am performing some ETL activities. So my ADF pipeline has two components,
Copy Data
Databricks Notebook
I am wondering if I could move the Copy Data fragment to Databricks?
Can we upload binary files from Windows FileSystem to Azure blob using Azure Databricks?
I think it is possible, you may have to do network changes

Usecase: I have data files of varying size copied to a specific SFTP folder periodically (Daily/Weekly). All these files needs to be validated and processed. Then write them to related tables in Azure SQL. Files are of CSV format and are actually a flat text file which directly corresponds to a specific Table in Azure SQL.
Implementation:
Planning to use Azure Data Factory. So far, from my reading I could see that I can have a Copy pipeline in-order to copy the data from On-Prem SFTP to Azure Blob storage. As well, we can have SSIS pipeline to copy data from On-Premise SQL Server to Azure SQL.
But I don't see a existing solution to achieve what I am looking for. can someone provide some insight on how can I achieve the same?
I would try to use Data Factory with a Data Flow to validate/process the files (if possible for your case). If the validation is too complex/depends on other components, then I would use functions and put the resulting files to blob. The copy activity is also able to import the resulting CSV files to SQL server.
You can create a pipeline that does the following:
Copy data - Copy Files from SFTP to Blob Storage
Do Data processing/validation via Data Flow
and sink them directly to SQL table (via Data Flow sink)
Of course, you need an integration runtime, that can access the on-prem server - either by using VNet integration or by using the self hosted IR. (If it is not publicly accessible)
I have a Databricks process which currently generate a bunch of text files which gets stored in Azure Files. These files need to be moved to ADLS Gen 2 on a scheduled basis and back to File Share.
How this can be achieved using Databricks?
Installing the azure-storage package and using the Azure Files SDK for Python on Azure Databricks is the only way to access files in Azure Files.
Install Library: file-share azure-storage https://pypi.org/project/azure-storage-file-share/
Note : Pip install only instals the package on the driver node, thus pandas must be loaded first. The library must be deployed as a Databricks Library before it can be used by Spark worker nodes.

Alternative could be copying the data from Azure File Storage to ADLS2 via Azure DataFactory using Copy activity : Copy data from/to Azure File Storage - Azure Data Factory & Azure Synapse | Microsoft Docs
I have data pipeline in Azure Data Factory which copies the files from AWS S3 Bucket to Azure Data lake gen 2. So in order to build this pipeline I have created various resources like Azure Data Lake Gen 2 Storage, File system in ADLS with specific permissions, Data Factory, Source Dataset which connects to S3 Bucket, Target Dataset which connects to ADLS Gen2 folder.
So all these were created in a Dev subscription in Azure but now I want to deploy these resources in Prod subscription with least manual effort. I tried the ARM template approach which does not allow me to selectively choose the pipeline for migration. It copies everything present on the data factory which I don't want considering I may have different pipelines which are still under development phase and I do not want those to be migrated to Prod. I tried the powershell approach too which also has some limitations.
I would need expert advice on what is the best way to migrate the code from one subscription to other.
What is the way to incremental sftp from remote server to azure using azure data factory. I have a scenario where i need to copy files from remote server to azure.
to do this kind of copy task in Azure Data Factory, create a pipeline with a Copy activity in it, set the source dataset as SFTP dataset and the sink dataset as Azure blob. You could also consider to use Copy data tool in Azure data factory.
I have a event driven logic app (blob event) which reads a block blob using the path and uploads the content to Azure Data Lake. I noticed the logic app is failing with 413 (RequestEntityTooLarge) reading a large file (~6 GB). I understand that logic apps has the limitation of 1024 MB - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azureblob/ but is there any work around to handle this type of situation? The alternative solution I am working on is moving this step to Azure Function and get the content from the blob. Thanks for your suggestions!
If you want to use an Azure function, I would suggest you to have a look at this at this article:
Copy data from Azure Storage Blobs to Data Lake Store
There is a standalone version of the AdlCopy tool that you can deploy to your Azure function.
So your logic app will call this function that will run a command to copy the file from blob storage to your data lake factory. I would suggest you to use a powershell function.
Another option would be to use Azure Data Factory to copy file to Data Lake:
Copy data to or from Azure Data Lake Store by using Azure Data Factory
You can create a job that copy file from blob storage:
Copy data to or from Azure Blob storage by using Azure Data Factory
There is a connector to trigger a data factory run from logic app so you may not need azure function but it seems that there is still some limitations:
Trigger Azure Data Factory Pipeline from Logic App w/ Parameter
You should consider using Azure Files connector:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azurefile/
It is currently in preview, the advantage it has over Blob is that it doesn't have a size limit. The above link includes more information about it.
For the benefit of others who might be looking for a solution of this sort.
I ended up creating an Azure Function in C# as the my design dynamically parses the Blob Name and creates the ADL structure based on the blob name. I have used chunked memory streaming for reading the blob and writing it to ADL with multi threading for adderssing the Azure Functions time out of 10 minutes.
