I am using a Azure Data Lake Store gen1 for storing JSON files. Based on these files i have Notebooks in Azure Databricks for processing them. Now i want to trigger such a Azure Databricks Notebook when a new file is creating in Azure Data Lake Store gen1. I couldnt find any Trigger which could do this. do you know any way?
Currently, this is not yet implemented/Supported by Microsoft. But it is on their Roadmap(I believe).
You can do this in 2 ways,
Azure Functions(through Event Grid)
Logic Apps
Option #1
Currently, Microsoft is building on #1.
You can track the issue here.
As per this
This feature is not a high priority for us right now, but I will note
that the announcement for Azure Event Grid listed Data Lake as one of
the integrations they are building. Once you can subscribe to Data
Lake updates through Event Grid, running an Azure Function would be
trivial (see here for some info).
You can vote your voice to support the event grid (provider) in DataLake.
Option #2
This is also not yet implemented, but you can Upvote your voice here to support this feature

How can we create the real-time data pipeline while data resides on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and the analytics has to be done using Elastic Stack.
What can be the integration tool or technique for the completion of this design?
As #Nick.McDermaid mentioned in the comment that you need to reconsider your design. AFAIK there is no such tool available which can integrate Azure Data Lake Gen2 and Elastic Stack for real time analytics.
Alternatively, the better way to implement your requirement is by using the Azure products designed for real time analytics like Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Synapse Analytics, etc. You can also consider Azure Data Factory for data movement and transformation.
You can check out this page to know more about all the analytics products available in Azure. Choose the best which suits your requirement and try to implement using official document examples.
I want to send Azure Diagnostics to Kusto tables.
The idea is to get logs and metrics from various Azure resources by sending them to a storage account.
I'm following both Ingest blobs into Azure Data Explorer by subscribing to Event Grid notifications and Tutorial: Ingest and query monitoring data in Azure Data Explorer,
trying to use the best of all worlds - cheap intermediate storage for logs, and using EventHub only for notifications about the new blobs.
The problem is that only part of the data is being ingested.
I'm thinking that the problem is in the append blobs which monitoring creates. When Kusto receives "Created" notification, only a part of the blob is written, and the rest of events are never ingested as the blob is appended to.
My question is, how to make this scenario work? Is it possible at all, or I should stick with sending logs to EventHub without using the blobs with Event Grid?
Append blobs do not work nicely with Event Grid ADX ingestion, as they generate multiple BlobCreated events.
If you are able to cause blob rename on update completion, that would sole the problem.
Recently we came across a scenario where our source and sink location are of ADLS Gen2 type. Now we got one interesting use case wherein we have to push data from source to sink with the help of ADF V2. Having said that, its not just normal copy activity we are expecting but we need to perform this activity on an event basis.
While going through the ADLS Gen2 documents found that ADLS Gen2 yet to support "Azure Event Grids" and that's the reason though we are able to configure ADF's event-based triggers they did not work.
Can anyone suggest me to tackle this situation, since Azure Event Gird is not supported at this instance of time we don't believe we can achieve this with Azure Event Hubs and their integration with ADF?
Thanks.
From my repro, currently event based trigger are supported only on v2 storage accounts.
Data Factory is now integrated with Azure Event Grid, which lets you trigger pipelines on an event.
Note: This integration supports only version 2 Storage accounts (General purpose).
Azure Event Grid doesn't receive events from Azure Data Lake Gen2 accounts because those accounts don't yet generate them.
For more details, refer “Known issues with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2”.
Currently as part of our requirements we are working with the below Azure components
Azure Event Hub
Azure Stream Analytics
Azure Table Storage
Azure Sql DB
Basically with first 3 components, we will be building an Analytics and Reports platform.
Currently as we just started we analyze the data from Azure Table Storage and display it in the analytics dashboard.
Recently we came across a new Azure product Azure Data Lake . Doing some research on microsoft website , we could see we can easily migrate data from Azure Table Storage (with help of Azure Data Factory) to Azure Lake Store. Creating big data pipelines using Azure Data Lake and Azure Data Factory
As we go through the above link, it's mentioned that we need to create an Azure Data Lake Analytics pipeline to process the data.
So what am unclear is the where will be analytics output data will be saved. Do we need to save the analytics output to some DB ? or can we real-time analytics through a Http request ?
We have huge number rows of records in Azure Table Storage that will be moved to Azure Data Lake. For this scenario is it a good option or Can we go an analytics-based solution from Azure Table Storage itself.
Please share your thoughts
You can store your analytics output data on Azure Data Lake Store (a data repository that enables you to store all kinds of data in their raw format without defining schemas.) after processing it through Azure Data lake Analytics (An analytics service that enables you to run jobs on data sets without having to think about clusters.)
As you said "We have huge number rows of records in Azure Table Storage that will be moved to Azure Data Lake.", I think performing analytics on data placed on Azure data lake store is much more efficient because it offers unlimited storage with immediate read/write access to it and scaling the throughput you need for your workloads. It's also offers small writes at low latency for big data sets. So I believe it is better choice then Azure Table storage.
What is the best way to send data from Event Hubs to Data Lake Store?
I am assuming you want to ingest data from EventHubs to Data Lake Store on a regular basis. Like Nava said, you can use Azure Stream Analytics to get data from EventHub into Azure Storage Blobs. Thereafter you can use Azure Data Factory (ADF) to copy data on a scheduled basis from Blobs to Azure Data Lake Store. More details on using ADF are available here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-factory-azure-datalake-connector/. Hope this helps.

March 17, 2016 update.
Support for Azure Data Lake Store as an output for Azure Stream Analytics is now available. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/streamanalytics/2016/03/14/integration-with-azure-data-lake-store/ . This will be the best option for your scenario.

In addition to Nava's reply: you can query data in a Windows Azure Blob Storage container with ADLA/U-SQL as well. Or you can use the Blob Store to ADL Storage copy service (see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-lake-store-copy-data-azure-storage-blob/).
One way would be to write a process to read messages from the event hub event hub API and writes them into a Data Lake Store. Data Lake SDK.
Another alternative would be to use Steam Analytics to get data from Event Hub into a Blob, and Azure Automation to run a powershell that would read the data from the blob and write into a data lake store.
Not taking credit for this, but sharing with the community:
It is also possible to archive the Events (look into properties\archive), this leaves an Avro blob.
Then using the AvroExtractor you can convert the records into Json as described in Anthony's blob:
http://anthonychu.ca/post/event-hubs-archive-azure-data-lake-analytics-usql/
One of the ways would be to connect your EventHub to Data Lake using EventHub capture functionality (Data Lake and Blob Storage is currently supported). Event Hub would write to Data Lake every N mins interval or once data size threshold is reached. It is used to optimize storage "write" operations as they are expensive on a high scale.
The data is stored in Avro format, so if you want to query it using USQL you'd have to use an Extractor class. Uri gave a good reference to it https://anthonychu.ca/post/event-hubs-archive-azure-data-lake-analytics-usql/.
