Opens a stream to write to a file and returns a handle to this stream. There is a 10 minute idle timeout on this handle. If a file or directory already exists on the given path and overwrite is set to false, this call will throw an exception with RESOURCE_ALREADY_EXISTS.

Usage

create_dbfs(client, path, overwrite = NULL)

dbfsCreate(client, path, overwrite = NULL)

Arguments

client

Required. Instance of DatabricksClient()

path

Required. The path of the new file.

overwrite

The flag that specifies whether to overwrite existing file/files.

Details

A typical workflow for file upload would be:

  1. Issue a create call and get a handle. 2. Issue one or more add-block calls with the handle you have. 3. Issue a close call with the handle you have.
