[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-16791) [R] Expose Azure Blob Storage filesystem

["Dean MacGregor (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16791?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17599464#comment-17599464 ] 

Dean MacGregor commented on ARROW-16791:
----------------------------------------

I found that in arrow/r/src/filesystem.cpp, on lines 38-40 there's a comment block which says to uncomment them for AzureBlobFileSystem when R6 classes are made.  However, when looking further, it seems that there is more in the cpp file for s3 and GCS than just that reference but nothing else for Azure so I guess that comment should be more of a TODO since, unless I'm missing a lot (which is all too possible) there's much more needed for Azure to work than just an R6 class, no?

 

To that end, Microsoft has [https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-cpp] for using azure in cpp.

 

I don't know cpp enough (really, at all) to be able to extend MS's code into something usable for arrow but just wanted to put the link in here in case it's helpful.

> I'd like to see the R arrow package be able to interface with the Azure Blob Storage file system from the AzureStor package.
>  
> In python, pyarrow and adlfs work together so I'd like for AzureStor and arrow under R to also work together.
