Deletes the blob if it exists, using the specified snapshot and request options, and operation context.

A blob that has snapshots cannot be deleted unless the snapshots are also deleted. If a blob has snapshots, use the DeleteSnapshotsOption.DELETE_SNAPSHOTS_ONLY or DeleteSnapshotsOption.INCLUDE_SNAPSHOTS value in the deleteSnapshotsOption parameter to specify how the snapshots should be handled when the blob is deleted.

Parameters:

deleteSnapshotsOption - A DeleteSnapshotsOption object that indicates whether to delete only snapshots, or the blob and its snapshots.

accessCondition - An AccessCondition object that represents the access conditions for the blob.

options - A BlobRequestOptions object that specifies any additional options for the request. Specifying null will use the default request options from the associated service client ( CloudBlobClient).

Returns:

true if the blob existed and was deleted; otherwise, false

accessCondition - An AccessCondition object that represents the access conditions for the blob. The LeaseID is required to be set on the AccessCondition.

Throws:

StorageException - If a storage service error occurred.

renewLease

@DoesServiceRequest
public final void renewLease(AccessCondition accessCondition,
                                 BlobRequestOptions options,

                      throws StorageException

Renews an existing lease using the specified request options and operation context.

Parameters:

accessCondition - An AccessCondition object that represents the access conditions for the blob. The LeaseID is required to be set on the AccessCondition.

options - A BlobRequestOptions object that specifies any additional options for the request. Specifying null will use the default request options from the associated service client ( CloudBlobClient).

opContext - An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation. This object is used to track requests to the storage service, and to provide additional runtime information about the operation.

Throws:

StorageException - If a storage service error occurred.

setMetadata

public final void setMetadata(HashMap<String,String> metadata)

Sets the metadata for the blob.

Parameters:

metadata - A java.util.HashMap object that contains the metadata being assigned to the blob.

setStreamWriteSizeInBytes

public abstract void setStreamWriteSizeInBytes(int streamWriteSizeInBytes)

Sets the number of bytes to buffer when writing to a BlobOutputStream (block and page blobs).

Parameters:

streamWriteSizeInBytes - An int that represents the number of bytes to buffer or the size of a block, in bytes.

setStreamMinimumReadSizeInBytes

public void setStreamMinimumReadSizeInBytes(int minimumReadSize)

Sets the minimum read size when using a BlobInputStream.

Parameters:

minimumReadSize - An int that represents the minimum block size, in bytes, for reading from a blob while using a BlobInputStream object. Must be greater than or equal to 16 KB.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If minimumReadSize is less than 16 KB.

upload

@DoesServiceRequest
public abstract void upload(InputStream sourceStream,

                            IOException

Uploads the source stream data to the blob. If the blob already exists on the service, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:

sourceStream - An InputStream object that represents the source stream to upload.

length - An long that represents the length of the stream data in bytes, or -1 if unknown. The length must be greater than zero and a multiple of 512 for page blobs.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O exception occurred.

StorageException - If a storage service error occurred.
