The Databricks ABS-AQS connector uses Azure Queue Storage (AQS) to provide an optimized file source that lets you find new files written to an Azure Blob storage (ABS) container without repeatedly listing all of the files.
This provides two major advantages:
* Lower latency: no need to list nested directory structures on ABS, which is slow and resource intensive.
* Lower costs: no more costly LIST API requests made to ABS.
