I'm using the official nuget package of Windows Azure Storage Client Library to retrieve items of my Azure tables.
Recently I updated the package from version 2.0.2.0 to 2.0.5.0 and my app stopped working because the results returned by my storage query are different with the new version.
I'm looking for the library changelog in order to understand how to fix the issue.
Do you know where can I find it ?
The link provided on the nuget page seems to be outdated (it's a changelog between 1.x and 2.x, not between 2.0.2 and 2.0.5 !). Also, the Windows Azure Storage team's blog is not updated.
Please refer to the changelog.txt that is always updated with the respective source code changes.
The changelog is always up to date at https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net/blob/master/changelog.txt

I'm working on converting a library from full .NetFramework to .NetCore
I'm looking for a replacement for Microsoft.Azure.Management.HDInsight.Job, which hasn't been updated in over a year and is not compatible with .NetCore. I was hoping that the functionality would be rolled up into the much-more-recently-updated and netcore-compatible Microsoft.Azure.Management.HDInsight, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I'm down to use the REST API, but I haven't been able to find the same functionality there. Any guidance would be appreciated.
You could try to install Microsoft.Azure.Management.HDInsight.Job with Package Manager to install some prerelease versions, so that its dependencies would not be conflict with your asp.net core.
I test them, no matter it is preview, it also have the functionality what you want.
Write in Package Manager Console such as:
Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.Management.HDInsight.Job -Version 1.0.7-preview
You could only install the version <= 1.0.7-preview. If not, you may could not install it.
For more detail, you could refer to this article.
I found the REST API I was looking for. It is the WebHCat API, not an Azure API.

Hopefully they will release 3.0.0 soon

I went to update the Azure storage client nuget here, and before pulling it read the changelog. In the changelog they say "support for 2015-07-08 REST version. Please see our REST API documentation and blogs for information...". I have looked all over and can't find any documentation for that API version (2015-07-08) of what was changed. Does anyone know what was changed and/or where the changes are documented?
Version 7.x of the client library is based on version 2015-07-08 (the latest version). However, the change to the service with this version, as compared to version 2015-04-05, is very minor. The only change is the addition of the GetPageRangesDiff/GetPageRangesDiffAsync methods on CloudPageBlob. These methods support incremental snapshots (see https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/storage-incremental-snapshots/). There is no other change to the service.
Also see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee691973.aspx for the change to Get Page Ranges.
We will provide information in the versioning section for 2015-07-08 soon.
Didn't find what was exactly changed, but I think the documentation refers to https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net/tree/master/Documentation and blogs at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/.
I'm trying to upload a blob to azure using a shared access signature. I have the token and added the nuget package WindowsAzure.Storage to my project. I've tried both version 7.0.0 and 7.0.1-preview.
For some reason I'm unable to resolve the reference when creating an instance of CloudBlobContainer. Also I've tried to just type the using statement but no luck. All azure documentation points to a version 4.4.0-preview, is this the one I should be using?
azure doc ref https://azure.microsoft.com/da-dk/documentation/articles/storage-xamarin-blob-storage/
Best regards
I would just guess that the docs are outdated with the 4.4.0-preview link instead of a link to the NuGet package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage/
CloudBlobContainer seems to be within the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob namespace.
I would check to ensure that you actually installed the NuGet package as it may have failed silently with other projects.
EX: http://screencast.com/t/FLhztkeu
Changing the PCL profile worked for me. Bizarre.
After installing the NuGet package, you actually need to change the profile on your Xamarin project. You can do this by going to the shared project -> Options -> General – > C#
Change the Current Profile to PCL 4.5 – Profile111 (I have no idea
of what this does.)
You need to retarget your NuGet packages for this new profile now.
Right click on Packages within the shared project, and you’ll have 5
options here.
Retarget will be available. Click that. (Not shown here, as I’ve
already retargeted)
Rebuild your project
How I figured this out
I stumbled across this Xamarin forum post, where someone had the exact same issue. One user pointed us towards a bug report, where PCL references were not added automatically via NuGet package installation. They recommended retargeting, and it worked! Now I can include the using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob; namespace.
I have a blog post with more info on this.
I cant find a method since I upgraded the Azure storage dlls.
The static method I cant find is: CloudTableClient.CreateTablesFromModel
The old class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storageclient.cloudtableclient_methods.aspx
This is the new class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.table.cloudtableclient_methods.aspx
I did some searching but couldn't find a word about this being replaced or deleted.
Does anybody have an idea?
Storage client library 2.0 is quite different from the previous version and a number of methods have been removed in the newer version. This method is one of them. If you look under the remarks section on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storageclient.cloudtableclient.createtablesfrommodel.aspx, it is recommended that you not use this method.
Since these 2 versions are quite different, it is recommended that you read up the following blog posts from the storage team before upgrading your code to use the latest version:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/10/29/introducing-windows-azure-storage-client-library-2-0-for-net-and-windows-runtime.aspx

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/11/06/windows-azure-storage-client-library-2-0-tables-deep-dive.aspx
I also wrote a blog post about migrating code from storage client library 1.7 to 2.0 which you can read here: http://gauravmantri.com/2012/11/17/storage-client-library-2-0-migrating-table-storage-code/
What's the difference between these two assemblies and when should I use each? I find that there are class name collisions between them so I imagine that I should only use one.
Example
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage has Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.CloudTableClient
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient has Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudTableClient
This seems very confusing. I can't imagine that Microsoft intends these to both be used in the same project.
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage is version 2.0 of storage client library while Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient is the older version. There have been many changes in version 2.0 of the library (some of them are breaking). If you're starting new, I would actually recommend using 2.0 of the library as I found it more intuitive and easy to use than the older version. If you have an application which makes use of 1.7 version of the library, before you decide to upgrade, I would actually recommend reading the following blog posts by Windows Azure Storage Team:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/10/29/introducing-windows-azure-storage-client-library-2-0-for-net-and-windows-runtime.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/10/29/windows-azure-storage-client-library-2-0-breaking-changes-amp-migration-guide.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/11/06/windows-azure-storage-client-library-2-0-tables-deep-dive.aspx
However please note that there're still some components that your application might be using which has a dependency on storage client library 1.7. Windows Azure Diagnostics is one of them. So for some time you will need to use both versions. Good thing is that you can use both versions simultaneously in your project.
Hope this helps.

I also wrote a few blog posts about migrating code from storage client library 1.7 to 2.0 where I covered some basic scenarios. You can read those posts here:
