Load Bulk Data to Azure Table Storage

To load bulk data into Azure Table Storage using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python. You'll need to install the azure-cosmosdb-table package, which provides the necessary functionality to interact with Azure Table Storage. You can install this package using pip.

pip install azure-cosmosdb-table

Here's a sample Python code that demonstrates how to bulk-load data into Azure Table Storage.

from azure.cosmosdb.table.tableservice import TableService
from azure.cosmosdb.table.models import Entity

# Define your Azure Storage account name and account key
account_name = 'your_account_name'
account_key = 'your_account_key'

# Initialize the TableService
table_service = TableService(account_name=account_name, account_key=account_key)

# Define the table name
table_name = 'your_table_name'

# Define a list of entities to insert into the table
entities = [
    {'PartitionKey': 'Partition1', 'RowKey': 'Row1', 'Property1': 'Value1'},
    {'PartitionKey': 'Partition1', 'RowKey': 'Row2', 'Property1': 'Value2'},
    {'PartitionKey': 'Partition2', 'RowKey': 'Row3', 'Property1': 'Value3'},
    # Add more entities as needed
]

# Create the table if it doesn't exist (you can skip this step if the table already exists)
table_service.create_table(table_name)

# Bulk insert entities into the table
for entity_data in entities:
    entity = Entity()
    entity.set('PartitionKey', entity_data['PartitionKey'])
    entity.set('RowKey', entity_data['RowKey'])
    
    # Set additional properties as needed
    entity.set('Property1', entity_data['Property1'])
    
    # Insert the entity into the table
    table_service.insert_entity(table_name, entity)

print("Bulk data loaded into Azure Table Storage.")

Make sure to replace 'your_account_name', 'your_account_key', 'your_table_name', and add more entities with their properties as needed. This code initializes the TableService, creates the table if it doesn't exist, and then bulk inserts the entities into the table.

Remember to keep your account key and other sensitive information secure and consider using Azure Managed Identity or other secure methods for authentication in production environments.
