Azure Databricks and ADLS Gen V2 Container

Question

What does this indicate? Does this mean the containers need to be created via CLI?

When a hierarchical namespace is enabled, you do not need to create containers through Azure portal. If you see this issue, delete the Blob container through Azure portal. After a few minutes, you will be able to access the container. Alternatively, you can change your abfss URI to use a different container, as long as this container is not created through Azure portal.

Hello @grajee ,

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

When hierarchical namespace is enabled, you may experience the java.io.FileNotFoundException with an error code of 404 mentioning FilesystemNotFound and the error message “The specified filesystem does not exist”. The common reason for this error is that you are trying to access a blob container created through the Azure Portal, but when hierarchical namespace is enabled, you must not create containers through Azure Portal.

To solve this issue, do one of the following:

• Delete the blob container through Azure Portal, wait a few minutes, and then try accessing this container.
• Or use a different container that is not created through Azure Portal.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
