The documentation for Snowflake's COPY INTO command mentions that an External Stage can be created for Azure, but it requires a Blob Storage URI. I would like to create an external stage for Azure Data Lake 2. I know that Azure Data Lake 2 is built on top of Azure Blob Storage. Is there any way to get a Blob Storage URI for a ADL2 file location in the com.azure.storage Java Client Library ?
An Azure service that provides an enterprise-wide hyper-scale repository for big data analytic workloads and is integrated with Azure Blob Storage.
An Azure service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs.

Hello Grant Burkhart,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Can you please check this quick start tutorial and see if it helps.
/*
* The default credential first checks environment variables for configuration
* If environment configuration is incomplete, it will try managed identity
*/
DefaultAzureCredential defaultCredential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();
// Azure SDK client builders accept the credential as a parameter
// TODO: Replace <storage-account-name> with your actual storage account name
BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClientBuilder()
.endpoint("https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/")
.credential(defaultCredential)
.buildClient();
// Get a reference to a container
BlobContainerClient containerClient = blobServiceClient.getBlobContainerClient("<file_system>");
// Get the URI of the container
String containerUri = containerClient.getBlobContainerUrl();

Hi @Anonymous , are you asking for BlobUrlParts Class or something else? Please clarify.
I guess that the question is, this: For an account in ADL2, will this URL, "https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/", work to find my resource?

Hi @Grant Burkhart ,
ADLS2 (Azure Data Lake Storage gen 2) is an Azure Storage Blob with HNS (Hierarchical Name Space) enabled. The same blob endpoint will work.
