BlobInput Interface 
	Implements
public interface BlobInput
 implements java.lang.annotation.Annotation
Place this on a parameter whose value would come from a blob. The parameter type can be one of the following:
- Any native Java types such as int, String, byte[]
- Nullable values using Optional<T>
- Any POJO type
The following example is a Java function that uses a queue trigger and an input blob binding. The queue message contains the name of the blob, and the function logs the size of the blob.
@FunctionName("getBlobSize")
@StorageAccount("AzureWebJobsStorage")
 public void blobSize(
    @QueueTrigger(name = "filename",
                   queueName = "myqueue-items") String filename,
    @BlobInput(name = "file",
                dataType = "binary",
                path = "samples-workitems/{queueTrigger}") byte[] content,
     final ExecutionContext context
 ) {
     context.getLogger().info("The size of \"" + filename + "\" is: " + content.length + " bytes");
 }

Method Details
connection
public abstract String connection()
Defines the app setting name that contains the Azure Storage connection string.
Returns:
dataType
public abstract String dataType()
Defines how Functions runtime should treat the parameter value. Possible values are:
- "": get the value as a string, and try to deserialize to actual parameter type like POJO
- string: always get the value as a string
- binary: get the value as a binary data, and try to deserialize to actual parameter type byte[]
Returns:
name
public abstract String name()
The variable name used in function.json.
Returns:
path
public abstract String path()
Defines the path of the blob to which to bind.
Returns:
