Support 'dynamic' output file names in ADLA
When reading files, it's easy to read from files, using the wildcard characters and dynamic parts of the URI. (see the Month variable)
@mydata =
EXTRACT Customer string,
Active bool,
Month string
FROM @"/MySolution/Energy/InputFiles/{Month:*}.csv"
USING new USQLExtractors.CustomExtractor();
I als want to have this behavior at the output side. I want to split out by customer (and don't know these customer upfront)
OUTPUT @mydata
TO @"/MySolution/Energy/OutputFiles/{Customer:*}.csv"
USING Outputters.Text();
Please make this possible.

The private preview is in full swing and will soon become public preview. See https://github.com/Azure/AzureDataLake/blob/master/docs/Release_Notes/2018/2018_Spring/USQL_Release_Notes_2018_Spring.md#data-driven-output-partitioning-with-output-fileset-is-in-private-preview

Hi Richard, try something similar to following:
DECLARE EXTERNAL @summaryStorage string = "/Results/output/" + @Id + "/Summary.csv";
SET @@FeaturePreviews = "DataPartitionedOutput:on";OUTPUT @JobSummary
TO @summaryStorage
ORDER BY Id
USING Outputters.Csv(dateTimeFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd", outputHeader: false);Also, one of the problems I've had is some special characters, so please ensure at least in initial test code, not to have any special characters neither in file name or file path.

Hi, so I tried it but it says data partioned output no supported. I guess that means it's still not available? Or my code is incorrect....
OUTPUT @cleanseTable
TO @outputFolder + "/" + "{CleansedColumn}" + @processYear + ".csv"
USING Outputters.Text(delimiter : ';', outputHeader : true); -

May I ask what is the current status? It was supposed to get to GA a few months ago.

Sorry Karthik, it does not address your question.

Does this feature also address declaring input files from a filename column from internal table/file as referenced in my question https://stackoverflow.com/a/52476803/8663707. Thanks.

How to get this private preview?

It will turn into GA later this summer or early fall, depending on the feedback we are getting during the preview phase and the time we need to address it.

This is very useful (we are trying to split the data up into folders by UserID and then putting an ACL on each folder) - When does Private Preview turn into GA?

Hi all... sorry for the delay in answering. But I am happy to announce that we have an early version of this feature in a limited private preview. If you are interested in helping us test it, please send me a message at usql at microsoft dot com with your scenario.

Over two years, we've been waiting on this. The work around is two costly and doesn't work well with Data Factory. Whats the ETA for preview?

@Arun: The script is generating that script.
@AK: The feature is under active development. We are not giving any detailed timelines in public settings, but will update the community once the feature is in preview. -

Hi,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42636855/u-sql-output-in-azure-data-lake/42676271#42676271
is not having full work around, they are missing the "/output/genscript.usql".
If it is given in that post, its very useful for us to work around that sample.
Please provide some examples.
Thank You,
Arun (user:6127385 [stackoverflow]) -

The work around is to script it. You can script it with U-SQL (to generate the script) or powershell. An example is given here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42636855/u-sql-output-in-azure-data-lake/42676271#42676271

Hi Dror. It has slipped into the first half of 2017 train but is still on the books.
