Description
I need to search for a file using wildcards. All documentation indicates this is not supported by ADLS Gen 2, and to use the blob API instead.
When I use `az storage blob directory list` to search for a file, I get this message:
> This command is implicitly deprecated and because command group 'storage blob directory' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use 'az storage fs directory' instead
Going by the docs, `az storage fs directory list` does not support two items of functionality:
* It only lists directories, not files
* It doesn't support "prefix search" on files, in fact no `fs` functions do.
Can you explain why this command is being deprecated when there is no other command to replace it.
ADLS Gen2 wildcard search is a glaring gap in functionality (it's not even supported in Storage Explorer)
My use case is that I have millions of files in a single folder and I need to find and download one of them, but I don't have container level access, only folder level access. Therefore I can't use `az storage fs file list` since it will return an enormous JSON file
