Answer
How can I move data in HVR from tables to Azure blob file storage as flat files?
See the requirements to write to Azure Blob storage in our documentation.
Do I need a separate license for this?
Whether you need a separate license depends on the kind of license you have. Please contact your HVR account manager for this.
Does it require a Hadoop client setup?
A Hadoop client is required because HVR uses WebHDFS REST calls to deliver data into Blob Storage.
Do the output files on Azure Blob FS come in all sorts of flat files or just in csv, json, and avro formats?
HVR supports file formats Parquet, JSON, Avro, CSV or XML.
If you need a different file type, you can transform your data using AgentPlugin.
