• Azure Blob Service Async Client

– return full object metadata on AzureStore.list, requires additional request per object. Metadata returned by default: size, lastModified, eTag, storageClass. This controls behaviour of AzureStore.list method from Store trait. Use AzureStore.listUnderlying to control on per-invocation basis.

• test if folders returned by AzureStore.list are files with trailing slashes in their names. This controls behaviour of AzureStore.list method from Store trait. Use AzureStore.listUnderlying to control on per-invocation basis.

• For upload, The block size is the size of each block that will be staged. This value also determines the number of requests that need to be made. If block size is large, upload will make fewer network calls, but each individual call will send more data and will therefore take longer. This parameter also determines the size that each buffer uses when buffering is required and consequently amount of memory consumed by such methods may be up to blockSize * numBuffers.

• For buffered upload only, the number of buffers is the maximum number of buffers this method should allocate. Memory will be allocated lazily as needed. Must be at least two. Typically, the larger the number of buffers, the more parallel, and thus faster, the upload portion of this operation will be. The amount of memory consumed by methods using this value may be up to blockSize * numBuffers.
