I'm using Azure data lake store as a storage service for my Java app, sometimes I need to compress multiples files, what I do for now is I copy all files into the server compress them locally and then send the zip to azure, even though this is work it take a lot of time, so I'm wondering is there a way to compress files directly on azure, I checked the data-lake-store-SDK, but there's no such functionality.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no option to do that sort of compression.
There is an open feature request HTTP compression support for Azure Storage Services (via Accept-Encoding/Content-Encoding fields) that discusses uploading compressed files to Azure Storage, but there is no estimation on when this feature might be released.
The only option for you is to implement such a mechanism on your own (using an Azure Function for example).
Hope it helps!
