----------------------------------
Summary: Azure Blob Storage "Blob from URL"
Key: NIFI-9972
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9972
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Malthe Borch
The Azure SDK for Azure Blob Storage supports the "Put Blob from URL" and "Copy
from URL" operations which allow server-to-server copying of blobs from one
storage account to another.
This is perhaps antithetical to data processing in NiFi (since the implication
is that the client does not actually see any of the data being transferred),
but it is a very relevant data operation.
Today, to accomplish the same from NiFi you would need to call out to for
example
[azcopy|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy]
which means you lose out on credentials management etc.
Practically speaking, you would provide two credentials, one for the source and
another for the destination and the would-be processor would then engage in the
server-to-server copying operation.
