Issue while creating subfolder in Azure cloud

Question

I am using the Azure Api provided by Microsoft for cloud storage...I am facing an unusual bug while creating the sub folder. ie when I create a subfolder within any container it is created easily within seconds. But when I try to create a subfolder again with different name it takes more time as compared to the previous one.

Again I try it is created easily. It means the sub folder no. 1 , 3 ,5 ,7 and so on are created easily and the even no. such as 2, 4 etc sub folders are created with delay. ie "Alternate sub folder creation is taking too much time"

Please let me know if there is any solution for this bug...

Answer 1

Are you creating these in blob storage? Folders, strictly speaking don't exist. They are simply a '/' character (or whatever delimiter you specify) are that imbedded in the file names. So you save a file using a path with out implicitly creating the path.

In the documentation, they even refer to these as "vitual folders" because they don't actual exist.
