------------------------------------------------------------------
Great to know that jclouds already does the right thing for Azure.
However, an option to delete containers without first clearing the container
will also be useful for other blobstores. Cleversafe is a private object store
with an S3 API. It supports deleting containers when they are not empty.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-684
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: jclouds-blobstore
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Shri Javadekar
>
> Some blobstores such as Microsoft Azure[1] have the ability to delete
> containers even when they are not empty. These object stores simply return
> after marking the containers for deletion and asynchronously delete the blobs
> and container in which the blobs exist.
> jclouds should have an option by which calling deleteContainer() should
> simply issue the delete request to the blobstore. It should not internally
> try and delete all the blobs in the container.
