How can I access the feature store tables in Azure Storage Explorer? What is the default storage location for delta lake tables ?

Question

I am using the Feature Store taxi example notebook for creating a feature store in DBR 8.3 ML. I am able to generate the feature tables and view details in the Feature Store menu. However I am not sure what is the default location where these are getting generated. I would like to view these delta tables in the Azure Storage Explorer. Can anyone please guide me?

Hello @pdub ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Unfortunately, you cannot access the feature store tables in Azure Storage Explorer.

You can use the below methods to access the feature store tables:

Note: Feature tables are stored as Delta tables.

Method1: The Databricks Feature Store UI shows the name of the table and database in the online store, along with other metadata.

Method2: You can view this tables from the Data section => Database Tables.

Method3: You can view this tables from DBFS file browser.

DBFS => Users => Hive => warehouse => select database => select table

Method4: Using DBFS Explorer for Databricks

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
