Create folder in azure datalake using azure blob storage connector

Hi @rajvenkatesh_k,

One of the benefits of ADLS Gen2 over Blob Storage is the hierarchical namespace that works like a file system with a directory/file structure. This means directories work different in Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. Thats why you can upload files with the Blob Storage connector to a ADLS Gen2 bucket, but can’t create/read the directory/file system structure and why we created the new ADLS Gen2 connector. There is no workaround on this. You have to use a Blob Storage bucket with the Blob Storage connector or upgrade to 4.3.3 and use the ADSL Gen2 connector with a ADSL Gen2 bucket if you like to use directories.

Cheers
Sascha
