How to ignore ETag checking

Using Azure.Storage.Blobs package. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/… does not say how to ignore checking for ETAG. Solution I mostly find are for Windows.Azure.Storage package, which does not work for me.

My application reads blob content from Azure blob storage. The Blob content file is being changed by another program at the same time while it is being read. I get error in the below stream.Read() line. Which I believe is because of mismatch eTag values as file is both read and writen at the same time.

How can I make my application ignore checking for ETag value (Which is disabling concurrency check). Tried as below. But same error.

    BlobRequestConditions blobRequestConditions = new BlobRequestConditions
    {
           IfMatch = new ETag("*")
           //IfMatch = ETag.All
    };

   using (var stream = await blob.OpenReadAsync(offset, sgmtSize, blobRequestConditions)) 
   {
      
        stream.Read(); // ERROR in this line
   }

Still getting same error. Sometimes live stream works and displays updated content in UI (Newly written content in the blob are displayed) before this error kicks in. Sometimes error starts at the beginning of streaming itself, even before any chunks are displayed in the UI. There is no concrete pattern.

Read() error below:

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you dont pass the blobRequestConditions to the method, it will disable the concurrency check

using (var stream = await blob.OpenReadAsync(offset, segmentSize)) 

Answer 2

BlobProperties properties1 = await blob.GetPropertiesAsync();
string originalETag = properties.ETag;
bool retry = true;
while (retry)
{    

      try{ 
    
            BlobRequestConditions blobRequestConditions = new BlobRequestConditions
            {
                  IfMatch = new ETag(originalETag)
            };
        
            using (var stream = await blob.OpenReadAsync(offset, segmentSize, blobRequestConditions)) 
            retry = false;

        }
        catch(RequestFailedException ex){
               if (ex.ErrorCode == "ConditionNotMet")
                {
                     retry = true;
                }
                       
                else
                {
                    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Failed to Read");
                    throw;
                 }   
         }
 }
