Limit output of list_storage_files about azurestor HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, it's possible to do this in the REST call. However, you can also simply filter the result of list_storage_files in R, eg using dplyr's filter or arrange -- this would probably be the simplest solution, unless you really have tons of files and pulling all the rows across the network is slowing you down.

Yes I know. I just have a data lake full of small json and the retrieve of the meta data already takes quite some time. So I thought a query pushdown would be useful. Was just an idea. Not that important. Thanks.

There is actually no way right now to filter a file list on the server side. Best alternative would be to use prefix to limit the result to only files that match on the first characters of the (path/file) name.
