Azure Blob Storage

GeeseFS still works with Azure because the support is inherited from Goofys and it turns out that Azure Blob Storage supports all basic features required for GeeseFS.

The simplest way to mount AzBlob is by using AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT and AZURE_STORAGE_KEY environment variables:

$ AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=xxx AZURE_STORAGE_KEY=yyy \
    $GOPATH/bin/geesefs wasb://container[:prefix] <mountpoint>

You can also use ~/.azure/config:

$ cat ~/.azure/config
[storage]
account = "myblobstorage"
key = "MY-STORAGE-KEY"
$ $GOPATH/bin/geesefs wasb://container <mountpoint>
$ $GOPATH/bin/geesefs wasb://container:prefix <mountpoint> # if you only want to mount objects under a prefix

GeeseFS also accepts full wasb URIs and setting the account via --endpoint:

$ $GOPATH/bin/geesefs wasb://container@myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/prefix <mountpoint>
$ $GOPATH/bin/geesefs --endpoint https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net wasb://container:prefix <mountpoint>

Note that if full wasb URI is not specified, prefix separator is :.

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 and Gen2

ADL v1 and v2 differ from Azure Blob so their support in GeeseFS is broken. Patches are welcome if you really want to fix it.
