Test access to WASB

To test access to WASB, SSH to a cluster node and run a few hadoop fs shell commands against your existing WASB account.

WASB access path syntax is:

wasb://container_name@storage_account_name.blob.core.windows.net/dir/file

For example, to access a file called “testfile” located in a directory called “testdir”, stored in the container called “testcontainer” on the account called “hortonworks”, the URL is:

wasb://testcontainer@hortonworks.blob.core.windows.net/testdir/testfile

You can also use “wasbs” prefix to utilize SSL-encrypted HTTPS access:

wasbs://<container_name>@<storage_account_name>.blob.core.windows.net/dir/file</pre>

The following Hadoop FileSystem shell commands demonstrate access to a storage account named "myaccount" and a container named "mycontainer":

hadoop fs -ls wasb://mycontainer@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/

hadoop fs -mkdir wasb://mycontainer@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/testDir

hadoop fs -put testFile wasb://mycontainer@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/testDir/testFile

hadoop fs -cat wasb://mycontainer@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/testDir/testFile
test file content
