Microsoft Azure Table Storage: CloudTable() error no suggestions available

Question

I'm using the Azure table storage from java, following the tutorial here. I'm successfully able to create a table, add an entity, retrieve an entity and delete an entity. However, I've got this method to delete a table:

public void deleteTable(String tableName) {
    try {
        CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.parse(storageConnectionString);
        CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.createCloudTableClient();

        // Delete the table and all its data if it exists.
        CloudTable cloudTable = new CloudTable(tableName, tableClient);

        cloudTable.deleteIfExists();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Error in deleting");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

In this method I am getting an error on this line

CloudTable cloudTable = new CloudTable(tableName, tableClient);

which has no suggestions available within eclipse only the following markers:

Multiple markers at this line

The constructor CloudTable(String, CloudTableClient) is not visible

The constructor CloudTable(String, CloudTableClient) is not visible

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you look at CloudTable constructors here, you will notice that the code you're using is not a valid one. It is possible that the SDK got upgraded however the code sample isn't. I would suggest using getTableReference method on CloudTableClient to get an instance of CloudTable:

try
{
    // Retrieve storage account from connection-string.
    CloudStorageAccount storageAccount =
        CloudStorageAccount.parse(storageConnectionString);

    // Create the table client.
    CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.createCloudTableClient();

    // Delete the table and all its data if it exists.
    CloudTable cloudTable = tableClient.getTableReference("people");
    cloudTable.deleteIfExists();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    // Output the stack trace.
    e.printStackTrace();
}
