-------------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Change WASB documentation regarding page blob support
> -----------------------------------------------------

>
> WASB page blob support documentation in Features list at the top:
> Supports both page blobs (suitable for most use cases, such as MapReduce) and
> block blobs (suitable for continuous write use cases, such as an HBase
> write-ahead log).
> Which is actually the opposite. Block blobs are better for typical big data
> use cases, and page blobs were implemented to support the HBase WAL.
> It is also mentioned that
> "Page blobs can be used for other purposes beyond just HBase log files
> though."
> This is not strong enough because page blob has been tested only in context
> of HBase write ahead logs. They have not been broadly certified for use
> across the HDP stack, hence is not recommended for use as a general purpose
> file-system via Hadoop cluster
