Hands-On Azure for Developers

Best practices

Azure Data Lake Store is a bit different when it comes to accessing data stored and performing read and writes. As this service is designed for storing petabytes of data, it is important to know the best practices for doing so, to avoid problems such as the need to reorganize all files or slow reads/writes. This also includes security features (as discussed earlier), as this is an important part of the whole solution. In this section, we will focus on multiple advice regarding ADLS, so you will use it consciously and leverage the best practices.
