About

The guideline at the Python client documentation about working with the CrateDB BLOB store is sweet, but a runnable program is even better.

Synopsis

# Define the HTTP URL to your CrateDB instance.
export CRATEDB_HTTP_URL=https://username:password@cratedb.example.net:4200/

# Define the BLOB container name.
export CRATEDB_BLOB_CONTAINER=testdrive

# Upload an item to the BLOB store.
python blob.py upload /path/to/file
418a0143404fb2da8a1464ab721f6d5fb50c3b96

# Download an item from the BLOB store.
python blob.py download 418a0143404fb2da8a1464ab721f6d5fb50c3b96

Backlog

  • Hasn't been verified with CrateDB Cloud yet.
  • Wasn't used with larger amounts of data yet.
  • In order to be used within own programs and libraries of CrateDB users,
    we may want to think about shipping it in one way or another,
    because it is a good building block.

Nit: Define title, description, and help better.

looks unused, remove it?
Otherwise I think it would have to use the blob schema, such as REFRESH TABLE blob."{self.name}";

Yeah, I also recognized this detail yesterday. Thank you. So, effectively, there is no way to run a BLOB table in a different schema? It is always blob?

Yes it's always blob, see also https://cratedb.com/docs/crate/reference/en/5.4/sql/statements/create-blob-table.html (syntax does not support to define a schema name).

FYI: I've just reused that basic implementation over at crate/mlflow-cratedb#33, adding more features to implement an object store.
