Does Azure Data Lake Gen2 provides WebHDFS REST API's?

If no, is it possible to use WebHDFS API from HDInsight to connect with ADL Gen2?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, ADLS Gen2 does not provides WebHDFS REST APIs.

Azure Data Lake Gen1 has WebHDFS-compatible Rest APIs, where Azure Data Lake Gen2 has Azure Blob Service Rest API.

Reference: ADLS Gen1 Compatibility with Hadoop and ADLS Gen1 vs ADLS Gen2.

Hope this helps.
