I am trying to create an externel location in azure databricks that point to a storage account (not a gen2 datalake)
I put this in the url
wasbs://[email protected]/
but I got this error 'url has invalid URI scheme wasbs. Valid URI schemes include s3, gs, s3n, r2, s3a, abfss'
Is there any work around?
No, in general Unity Catalog requires ADLS Gen 2, and don't work with Azure Blob - it's described in the documentation (1 and 2):
External locations must use Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 storage accounts that have a hierarchical namespace.
