## UPGRADE GUIDE

This guide is intended to help upgrade code written for the Azure Storage Python library before version 0.30.0.

The best way to see how to upgrade a specific API is to take a look at the usage samples in the *Samples* directory on GitHub. A very specific set of changes as well as additions can be found in the ChangeLog and BreakingChanges documents. The below is a summary of those documents containing the most relevant pieces for the upgrade scenario.

## GENERAL CHANGES

In general, we attempted to use more appropriate Python types for parameter and return values rather than always taking and receiving strings. Parameter and return values previously prefixed with x\_ms were simplified by removing this prefix, and parameter values are divided by '\_' between words as is idiomatic.

Listing returns a generator rather than a result segment. This generator automatically follows continuation tokens as more results are requested.

SAS methods take several individual parameters rather than a single paramter object. Similarly, ACL getters and setters take dictionaries mapping id to AccessPolicy rather than a list of SignedIdentifiers each holding an id and an AccessPolicy.

## BLOB

The single BlobService object was divided into three subservices for the different blob types (BlockBlobService, PageBlobService, AppendBlobService) with common methods in the abstract BaseBlobService these inherit from. This was done for two reasons. First, to reduce confusion when blob-type specific methods were used on the incorrect blob type. Second, to simplify the BlobService object which had grown to be quite extensive when append blob was added.

ContentSettings objects have replaced all content\_\* and cache\_control parameters and return values for applicable APIs. This is intended to highlight that the semantics of setting content properties is replace rather than merge, meaning that setting any one property will cause any unspecified properties to be cleared on the blob.

On the performance side, single-threaded blob download APIs will now download the blob without chunking to improve perf and not do an initial get to find the size of the blob. However, as a result the progress\_callback may receive None for its total parameter when parallelism is off to allow for this optimization.

## QUEUE

The largest change to the QueueService class is that queue messages are both XML encoded and decoded by default. In past versions, either messages were not encoded or decoded by default, or only encoded. Encoding and decoding methods can be modified using the QueueService encode\_function and decode\_function instance variables.

Methods operating on queue messages and which have return values will return QueueMessage objects. QueueMessages objects contain essentially the same fields as previously, but the times are returned as dates rather than strings and the dequeue count is returned as an int.

## TABLE

Rather than having a boolean switch for turning batching on and off, batches are an object which can be populated and then committed. Entities can be sent as dictionaries or as Entity objects, and returned entities are accessible as either objects or dictionaries. Methods which access and modify entites have been simplified so that if they take an entity object they extract the partition key and row key from that object rather than requiring these be sent separately.

All table entity integer values are stored on the service with type Edm.Int64 unless the type is explicitly overridden as Edm.Int32. Formerly, the type was decided based on the size of the number, but this resulted in hard to predict types on the service. So, the more consistent option was chosen.

Operations no longer echo content from the service and JSON is used instead of AtomPub, improving performance.

### azure.cosmosdb.table.tableservice module

- **class azure.cosmosdb.table.tableservice.TableService(account\_name=None, account\_key=None, sas\_token=None, is\_emulated=False, protocol='https', endpoint\_suffix='core.windows.net', request\_session=None, connection\_string=None, socket\_timeout=None)**

  Bases: **azure.cosmosdb.table.common.storageclient.StorageClient**

  This is the main class managing Azure Table resources.

  The Azure Table service offers structured storage in the form of tables. Tables  store data as collections of entities. Entities are similar to rows. An entity  has a primary key and a set of properties. A property is a name, typed-value pair,  similar to a column. The Table service does not enforce any schema for tables,  so two entities in the same table may have different sets of properties. Developers  may choose to enforce a schema on the client side. A table may contain any number  of entities.

  - **get\_table\_service\_stats(timeout=None)**

    Retrieves statistics related to replication for the Table service. It is  only available when read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for  the storage account.

    With geo-redundant replication, Azure Storage maintains your data durable  in two locations. In both locations, Azure Storage constantly maintains  multiple healthy replicas of your data. The location where you read,  create, update, or delete data is the primary storage account location.  The primary location exists in the region you choose at the time you  create an account via the Azure Management Azure classic portal, for  example, North Central US. The location to which your data is replicated  is the secondary location. The secondary location is automatically  determined based on the location of the primary; it is in a second data  center that resides in the same region as the primary location. Read-only  access is available from the secondary location, if read-access geo-redundant  replication is enabled for your storage account.

    - **Parameters**

      **timeout** (*int*) -- The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.

    - **Returns**

      The table service stats.

      **ServiceStats**

  - **insert\_entity(table\_name, entity, timeout=None)**

    Inserts a new entity into the table. Throws if an entity with the same  PartitionKey and RowKey already exists.

    When inserting an entity into a table, you must specify values for the  PartitionKey and RowKey system properties. Together, these properties  form the primary key and must be unique within the table. Both the  PartitionKey and RowKey values must be string values; each key value may  be up to 64 KB in size. If you are using an integer value for the key  value, you should convert the integer to a fixed-width string, because  they are canonically sorted. For example, you should convert the value  1 to 0000001 to ensure proper sorting.

  - **insert\_or\_replace\_entity(table\_name, entity, timeout=None)**

    Replaces an existing entity or inserts a new entity if it does not exist in the table. Because this operation can insert or update an entity, it is also known as an "upsert" operation.

    If insert\_or\_replace\_entity is used to replace an entity, any properties  from the previous entity will be removed if the new entity does not define  them.

    - **Parameters**

      - •

        **if\_match** (*str*) -- The client may specify the ETag for the entity on the  request in order to compare to the ETag maintained by the service  for the purpose of optimistic concurrency. The merge operation  will be performed only if the ETag sent by the client matches the  value maintained by the server, indicating that the entity has  not been modified since it was retrieved by the client. To force  an unconditional merge, set If-Match to the wildcard character (\*).

      - •

        **timeout** (*int*) -- The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

    - **Returns**

      The etag of the entity.
