file	Path to a file on local system, takes precedent over path.
contents	String that is base64 encoded.
overwrite	Flag (Default: FALSE) that specifies whether to overwrite existing files.
host	Databricks workspace URL, defaults to calling db_host().
token	Databricks workspace token, defaults to calling db_token().
perform_request	If TRUE (default) the request is performed, if FALSE the httr2 request is returned without being performed.

Details

Upload a file through the use of multipart form post.

Either contents or file must be specified. file takes precedent over contents if both are specified.

Mainly used for streaming uploads, but can also be used as a convenient single call for data upload.

The amount of data that can be passed using the contents parameter is limited to 1 MB if specified as a string (MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_EXCEEDED is thrown if exceeded) and 2 GB as a file.
