Ability to rename content as part of directory download/upload about azure-storage-net-data-movement HOT 4 OPEN

As we have following in mail, we are considering to have a callback for this to change destination's name before the transfer really happens. A private build drop has been provided, and we are also considering to add the callback in public released DMLib for others.

@EmmaZhu , please follow-up.

Here is my scenario: I'm migrating files from Azure Files to Azure Blobs, and in Files I have certain directory structure. In blob storage I don't want to mirror that directory structure, only want flat blobs list. Also, source files have extensions, and I don't want to have extensions in blob names. So essentially I need at least a callback which gives me a chance to tweak the destination location path. Currently, this logic is hardcoded in different INameResolver implementations (AzureFileToAzureNameResolver for my case), and there is no way to provide my own or somehow else take part in this process.

As a workaround, I had to build my own version of the library where AzureFileToAzureNameResolver is made public and allows assigning global (static) callback delegate to override the logic. I can afford this dirty trick as the migration tool I'm building is for one-time use. But longer-living software needs simpler and more robust solution. I would also say that described scenario would be nice to support in the AzCopy as well.

I have a similar issue. My scenario: I'm developing a tool for migrating local files to Azure Blobs. Local files have a certain directory structure. In blob storage files should be stored as a flat list. Blob names are formed from parts of a local file path.

A callback or special class can solve this issue.
