FileSystemClient Class

Reference

A client to interact with a specific file system, even if that file system may not yet exist.

For operations relating to a specific directory or file within this file system, a directory client or file client can be retrieved using the get_directory_client or get_file_client functions.

Inheritance: azure.storage.filedatalake._shared.base_client.StorageAccountHostsMixin

FileSystemClient

Constructor

FileSystemClient(account_url: str, file_system_name: str, credential: str | Dict[str, str] | AzureNamedKeyCredential | AzureSasCredential | TokenCredential | None = None, **kwargs: Any)

Parameters

Name	Description
account_url Required	str The URI to the storage account.
file_system_name Required	str The file system for the directory or files.
credential	The credentials with which to authenticate. This is optional if the account URL already has a SAS token. The value can be a SAS token string, an instance of a AzureSasCredential or AzureNamedKeyCredential from azure.core.credentials, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity. If the resource URI already contains a SAS token, this will be ignored in favor of an explicit credential except in the case of AzureSasCredential, where the conflicting SAS tokens will raise a ValueError. If using an instance of AzureNamedKeyCredential, "name" should be the storage account name, and "key" should be the storage account key. default value: None

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name	Description
api_version	str The Storage API version to use for requests. Default value is the most recent service version that is compatible with the current SDK. Setting to an older version may result in reduced feature compatibility.

Examples

Get a FileSystemClient from an existing DataLakeServiceClient.


   # Instantiate a DataLakeServiceClient using a connection string
   from azure.storage.filedatalake import DataLakeServiceClient
   datalake_service_client = DataLakeServiceClient.from_connection_string(self.connection_string)

   # Instantiate a FileSystemClient
   file_system_client = datalake_service_client.get_file_system_client("mynewfilesystem")

Variables

Name	Description
url	str The full endpoint URL to the file system, including SAS token if used.
primary_endpoint	str The full primary endpoint URL.
primary_hostname	str The hostname of the primary endpoint.

Methods

acquire_lease	Requests a new lease. If the file system does not have an active lease, the DataLake service creates a lease on the file system and returns a new lease ID.
close	This method is to close the sockets opened by the client. It need not be used when using with a context manager.
create_directory	Create directory
create_file	Create file
create_file_system	Creates a new file system under the specified account. If the file system with the same name already exists, a ResourceExistsError will be raised. This method returns a client with which to interact with the newly created file system.
delete_directory	Marks the specified path for deletion.
delete_file	Marks the specified file for deletion.
delete_file_system	Marks the specified file system for deletion. The file system and any files contained within it are later deleted during garbage collection. If the file system is not found, a ResourceNotFoundError will be raised.
exists	Returns True if a file system exists and returns False otherwise.
from_connection_string	Create FileSystemClient from a Connection String. :return a FileSystemClient :rtype ~azure.storage.filedatalake.FileSystemClient
get_directory_client	Get a client to interact with the specified directory. The directory need not already exist.
get_file_client	Get a client to interact with the specified file. The file need not already exist.
get_file_system_access_policy	Gets the permissions for the specified file system. The permissions indicate whether file system data may be accessed publicly.
get_file_system_properties	Returns all user-defined metadata and system properties for the specified file system. The data returned does not include the file system's list of paths.
get_paths	Returns a generator to list the paths(could be files or directories) under the specified file system. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service.
list_deleted_paths	Returns a generator to list the deleted (file or directory) paths under the specified file system. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service. New in version 12.4.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2020-06-12'.
set_file_system_access_policy	Sets the permissions for the specified file system or stored access policies that may be used with Shared Access Signatures. The permissions indicate whether files in a file system may be accessed publicly.
set_file_system_metadata	Sets one or more user-defined name-value pairs for the specified file system. Each call to this operation replaces all existing metadata attached to the file system. To remove all metadata from the file system, call this operation with no metadata dict.

acquire_lease

Requests a new lease. If the file system does not have an active lease, the DataLake service creates a lease on the file system and returns a new lease ID.

acquire_lease(lease_duration: int = -1, lease_id: str | None = None, **kwargs) -> DataLakeLeaseClient

Parameters

Name	Description
lease_duration Required	int Specifies the duration of the lease, in seconds, or negative one (-1) for a lease that never expires. A non-infinite lease can be between 15 and 60 seconds. A lease duration cannot be changed using renew or change. Default is -1 (infinite lease).

If "true", the user identity values returned in the x-ms-owner, x-ms-group, and x-ms-acl response headers will be transformed from Azure Active Directory Object IDs to User Principal Names. If "false", the values will be returned as Azure Active Directory Object IDs. The default value is false. Note that group and application Object IDs are not translated because they do not have unique friendly names.
timeout	int Sets the server-side timeout for the operation in seconds. For more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations. This value is not tracked or validated on the client. To configure client-side network timesouts see here.

set_file_system_access_policy

Sets the permissions for the specified file system or stored access policies that may be used with Shared Access Signatures. The permissions indicate whether files in a file system may be accessed publicly.

set_file_system_access_policy(signed_identifiers: Dict[str, AccessPolicy], public_access: str | PublicAccess | None = None, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, str | datetime]

Parameters

Name	Description
signed_identifiers Required	dict[str, AccessPolicy] A dictionary of access policies to associate with the file system. The dictionary may contain up to 5 elements. An empty dictionary will clear the access policies set on the service.
public_access Required	PublicAccess To specify whether data in the file system may be accessed publicly and the level of access.

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name	Description
lease	DataLakeLeaseClient or str Required if the file system has an active lease. Value can be a DataLakeLeaseClient object or the lease ID as a string.
if_modified_since	datetime A datetime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified date/time.
if_unmodified_since	datetime A datetime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time.
timeout	int Sets the server-side timeout for the operation in seconds. For more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations. This value is not tracked or validated on the client. To configure client-side network timesouts see here.

Returns

Type	Description
dict[str, str, datetime]	File System-updated property dict (Etag and last modified).

set_file_system_metadata

Sets one or more user-defined name-value pairs for the specified file system. Each call to this operation replaces all existing metadata attached to the file system. To remove all metadata from the file system, call this operation with no metadata dict.

set_file_system_metadata(metadata: Dict[str, str], **kwargs) -> Dict[str, str | datetime]

Parameters

Name	Description
metadata Required	dict[str, str] A dict containing name-value pairs to associate with the file system as metadata. Example: {'category':'test'}

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name	Description
lease	str or DataLakeLeaseClient If specified, set_file_system_metadata only succeeds if the file system's lease is active and matches this ID.
if_modified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time.
if_unmodified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC.
