Generate a SAS token for Azure Blob Storage in Java by calling the generateSas method on a BlobClient or BlobContainerClient. This creates scoped, time-limited URLs allowing clients to securely download or upload blobs without sharing storage account keys.

Streaming upload and download in Java works by passing InputStream or OutputStream objects to the BlobClient methods. This allows you to handle large files or continuous data streams without loading the entire blob content into application memory.

Yes, you can use DefaultAzureCredential with the Azure Blob Storage Java SDK to authenticate BlobServiceClient, BlobContainerClient, and BlobClient instances. It simplifies credential management by automatically chaining environment, managed identity, and shared credential providers.

Handle BlobStorageException errors in Java by catching the exception during blob operations and inspecting its error code and message. This allows you to implement robust retry logic for transient failures or specific handling for access denied and container not found scenarios.

Manage blob leases and metadata in Java by using BlobClient methods to acquire, renew, and break leases for exclusive write access. You can update blob properties and metadata using dedicated methods to maintain custom tags and system information.
