How to extract files from .tar.xz files stored in ADLS Gen 2 using Azure Data Factory?

Question

Is it possible to extract files from .tar.xz using Azure Data Factory. The file will be stored in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

Dataset used is binary. Adding the screenshots below,

As you can see there's .tar.gz option available but not .tar.xz. Is there any way or workaround to unzip tar.xz? Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried using tar.gz but getting the error as expected.

Hi @Shubham Pawade , I am not sure Data factory support decompression of .tar files, however, you can use Azure functions

activity leveraging Azure functions to achieve the purpose.
