Is it possible to create an external volume in Azure Databricks that points to an external S3 bucket so that I can read files for processing? Or is it only limited to ADLSv2?
I don't think so - but there are some other ways to "mount" it as external storage (some time ago I have used sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set - not sure if It does still work ) or maybe things like s3fs ?
I think it is reasonable to expect external locations can be on diverse storage types (at least the big players). I can nicely control access to azure storage in UC but not S3.
