how can i upload larger files into azure hadoop cluster?
Is there a way i can browse to the /example/apps directory in hadoop cluster by taking remote desktop connection so that i can copy the files?
HDInsight uses Windows Azure Blob storage (WASB). There are several ways you can upload data to WASB:
AzCopy
Windows Azure PowerShell
3rd party tools include Azure Storage Explorer, Cloud Storage Studio 2, CloudXplorer and so on.
Hadoop command line. You must enable RDP first.
For more information, see http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/hdinsight/howto-upload-data-to-hdinsight/.
Copy the files to Azure Blob Storage via HTTP/HTTPS and then MapReduce them from Hadoop on Azuure (HDInsight) by pointing at the HTTP URL of the uploaded file(s).
Cheers

I am looking for help to understand the integration of Unix file system with Azure DataBricks. I would like to connect to on-Prem Unix file systems and access relevant files and process through DataBricks and load into ADLS Gen2.
I understand that if the files are available in DBFS, we should be able to process. But my requirement is specific to process files available on on-prem Unix file system using Azure Technologies such as Azure DataBricks or Azure DataFactory.
Any suggestion/help in this regard will be very helpful.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly connect to on-Prem Unix file systems.
However you can try below workarounds:
You can upload files onto DBFS, and then access them. Browse DBFS using the UI
To copy large files use AzCopy. AzCopy is a command-line utility that you can use to copy blobs or files to or from a storage account.
Is there any way to connect pentaho to Azure Blob Storage or ADLS? Because I am not able to find any option?
Go to the file in Azure Blob and Generate SAS token and URL and copy the URL only. In PDI, select Hadoop file input. Double click the Hadoop file input and select local for the Evironment and insert the Azure URL in File/Folder field and that's it. You should see the file in PDI.

This article explains how to connect the Pentaho Server to a Microsoft Azure HDInsight cluster. Pentaho supports both the HDFS file system and the WASB (Windows Azure Storage BLOB) extension for Azure HDInsight.
I am trying to upload a 1tb file to azure blob storage. but the file is on a Linux server. Is there anyway I can directly connect and upload this?
how do I connect to a Linux server and upload to the BLOB without using ADF? Is there any other way? Can this be done with AZ copy utility tool?
is there any faster approach to just uploading to the blob? Usually I upload it from local drives, but now I want to connect to a Linux server
You can mount the Blob Storage as a drive on your Linux server using Blobfuse which is a virtual file system driver for Azure Blob storage. Blobfuse allows you to access your existing block blob data in your storage account through the Linux file system. Blobfuse uses the virtual directory scheme with the forward-slash '/' as a delimiter.
You can read more about this here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-how-to-mount-container-linux.
Alternately you can also use AzCopy, Azure CLI tools and even cross-platform Azure PowerShell to upload the data.
I need to upload my backup files from my Ubuntu server to Azure file storage, unable to upload it. Please share any idea or suggestions for the same.
Thank you in advance!!!
You just want to store the your gitlab backup files? or want store and share them?
If you just want to store them, I think we can create Azure storage blobs to store backup files. In Linux we can install Azure CLI 1.0 or Azure CLI 2.0 to upload files to Azure blobs.
More information about how to use CLI 1.0 or CLI 2.0 to upload files to Azure, please refer to the link.
If you want to store and share the backup files, I think we can use Azure file share storage. Azure files share service same as SMB 3.0, so you can mount the Azure file share to your Ubuntu, in this way, you can upload the backup files to it. Then you can mount Azure file share service to others to share the backup files.
More information about Azure file share service, please refer to the link.
Have you thought of implementing some agent tool to backup the data from Ubuntu to Azure Cloud storage? I think it can be a way out. Have a look at Cloudberry. It may help you. I see no other way to help which does not take so much time and effort.

I am trying to use azure spark. To run my job, I need to copy my dependancy jar and files to storage. i have created a storage and container. Could you please guide me how to access Azure storage from my linux machine so as to copy date from/to it.
Since you didn't state your restrictions (e.g., command line, programmatically, gui), here are a few options:
If you have access to a recent Python interpreter on your Linux machine, you can use blobxfer (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blobxfer), which can transfer entire directories of files into and out of Azure blob storage.
Use Azure cross-platform cli (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli/) which has functionality to transfer files one at a time into or out of Azure storage.
Directly invoke Azure storage calls via Azure storage SDKs programmatically. There are SDKs available in a variety of languages along with REST.
