System.MissingMethodException in AzureBlobStorageProvider.RenameFile

[ghost]

Calling the method AzureBlobFileSystem.AzureBlobStorageProvider.RenameFile results in System.MissingMethodException. Using AzureBlobFileSystem, Version=0.0.7.0.

Using WindowsAzure.Storage Version=7.0.0 (see: https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage), the method CloudBlockBlob.StartCopyFromBlob(Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.CloudBlockBlob, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.AccessCondition, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.AccessCondition, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.BlobRequestOptions, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.OperationContext) is Obsolete, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.blob.cloudblockblob.startcopyfromblob.aspx

An alternative pattern for performing Blob Rename (unoptimized):

1. Get old blob as a stream
2. Create new blob using stream from #1
3. Delete old blob

I see, StartCopyFromBlob is obsolete now.

With the latest azure storage sdk, we need to do something like

using (var stream = await sourceBlob.OpenReadAsync())
{
  await destinationBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync(stream);
}

Don't you want to try clone this repo and make a PR with fix? It would be very much appreciated.

@pofider This downloads the data to your program and reuploads it. The new library has StartCopy()/StartCopyAsync()
