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:

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/

I wan to set up a immutable policy for blob storage using the Java "Legacy" SDK (version 8.3), but I can't seem to find any documentation showing how to do this, or if it's even possible from the legacy version. The website shows how to do this from the portal, CLI and PowerShell, but I've yet to find any reference to the Java SDK. Am I missing some documentation somewhere?
I believe the closest thing to docs you'd be able to find on this would be the SDK documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/java/api/com.azure.resourcemanager.storage.fluent.models.immutabilitypolicyinner?view=azure-java-stable and here for legal holds: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/java/api/com.azure.resourcemanager.storage.fluent.models.legalholdinner?view=azure-java-stable.
It doesn't seem like there is a lot of great documentation on how to use them, but at least these give you the class and method names.
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 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
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.
EDIT:
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:
Migrating blob storage code: http://gauravmantri.com/2012/11/28/storage-client-library-2-0-migrating-blob-storage-code/
Migrating queue code: http://gauravmantri.com/2012/11/24/storage-client-library-2-0-migrating-queue-storage-code/
Migrating table storage code: http://gauravmantri.com/2012/11/17/storage-client-library-2-0-migrating-table-storage-code/
The Azure Storage client was recently updated to version 2.0, and I haven't found any API that returns Task.
How can I use TPL with Table Storage? .. Blob or Queue?
For your reference the new API has an example here for Table Storage.
Looking through some of the source under https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-net/ it appears that they haven't had a chance to add the Task versions yet (seems odd since it specifically mentions targeting .NET 4), but the operations appear to have the Begin* and End* versions available, so you could use the FromAsync method to wrap each pair in a task for easier consumption.
Does seem like an odd omission AFAICT, though.
