----------------------------------
Summary: Introduce a file component for Azure Files (mimic the FTP
component)
Key: CAMEL-19279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-19279
Project: Camel
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: camel-azure
Affects Versions: 3.20.3
Environment: standalone or containerized Spring Boot app
Reporter: Petr Kuzel
Fix For: 3.x
I have a new RFE which includes integrating Microsoft Azure Files over public
Internet.
Initial findings and constraints:
- Azure Files do not implement the FTP standard.
- Azure Files could expose SMB protocol but SMB over public Internet is
blacklisted by the security policy.
- Azure Files could expose NFS protocol but its pricing is prohibitive (so
security has not been even evaluated).
- Azure Files have REST API <[https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs]>
and Java SDK <[https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-java]>.
- My team is used to Camel 3.x components (includes the FTP component).
In pre-discussions having a Camel Azure Files component that extends
RemoteFileComponent<FTPFile> took preference over trying to use the Camel REST
component as a client of the Azure Files REST API.
The Camel Azure Files component that extends RemoteFileComponent<> does not
exist yet.
This feature request is to develop the Camel Azure Files component that
supports:
- producer
- consumer (polling unless Azure Java SDK allows event driven)
- secure auth over public Internet
- move and moveFailed
- filters
- recursive
- read locks (the changed lock unless Azure Java SDK allows a superior)
- timeouts (connect, read, write, changed lock)
- retries
- disconnect
- multiple protocol versions (if applicable)
- compatible with Camel 3.x
- many files
- large files

Appendix
The initial question on the users mailing list, that ended with the
recommendation to enter new Camel feature request for a file-based component.
_Given that I see the two options:_
_A: use Camel REST component._
_B: use Azure Files remote file component._
_Neither seems easy. For the Camel REST component, I'd need to implement a
polling consumer via REST and match the FTPS component-like capabilities. For
Azure Files, I have not found a developed Camel remote file component so its
development would be required, i.e. likely a continuation at the Camel dev
list..._
