> Azure Blob Storage provides two flavors: block-blobs and page-blobs.  Block-blobs are the general purpose kind that support convenient APIs and are the basis for the Azure Filesystem for Hadoop (see HADOOP-9629).
> Page-blobs use the same namespace as block-blobs but provide a different low-level feature set.  Most importantly, page-blobs can cope with an effectively infinite number of small accesses whereas block-blobs can only tolerate 50K appends before relatively manual rewriting of the data is necessary.  A simple analogy is that page-blobs are like a regular disk and the basic API is like a low-level device driver.
> See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee691964.aspx for some introductory material.
> The primary driving scenario for page-blob support is for HBase transaction log files which require an access pattern of many small writes.  Additional scenarios can also be supported.
> Configuration:
> The Hadoop Filesystem abstraction needs a mechanism so that file-create can determine whether to create a block- or page-blob.  To permit scenarios where application code doesn't know about the details of azure storage we would like the configuration to be Aspect-style, ie configured by the Administrator and transparent to the application. The current solution is to use hadoop configuration to declare a list of page-blob folders -- Azure Filesystem for Hadoop will create files in these folders using page-blob flavor.  The configuration key is "fs.azure.page.blob.dir", and description can be found in AzureNativeFileSystemStore.java.
> Code changes:
> - refactor of basic Azure Filesystem code to use a general BlobWrapper and specialized BlockBlobWrapper vs PageBlobWrapper
> - introduction of PageBlob support (read, write, etc)
> - miscellaneous changes such as umask handling, implementation of createNonRecursive(), flush/hflush/hsync.
> - new unit tests.
