> An Azure Blob Storage implementation of the segment storage, based on the
> OAK-6921 work.
> h3. Segment files layout
> Thew new implementation doesn't use tar files. They are replaced with
> directories, storing segments, named after their UUIDs. This approach has
> following advantages:
> * no need to call seek(), which may be expensive on a remote file system.
> Rather than that we can read the whole file (=segment) at once.
> * it's possible to send multiple segments at once, asynchronously, which
> reduces the performance overhead (see below).
> The file structure is as follows:
> {noformat}
> [~]$ az storage blob list -c oak --output table
> Name Blob Type
> Blob Tier Length Content Type Last Modified

> For the segment files, each name is prefixed with the index number. This
> allows to maintain an order, as in the tar archive. This order is normally
> stored in the index files as well, but if it's missing, the recovery process
> uses the prefixes to maintain it.
> Each file contains the raw segment data, with no padding/headers. Apart from
> the segment files, there are 3 special files: binary references (.brf),
> segment graph (.gph) and segment index (.idx).
> h3. Asynchronous writes
> Normally, all the TarWriter writes are synchronous, appending the segments to
> the tar file. In case of Azure Blob Storage each write involves a network
> latency. That's why the SegmentWriteQueue was introduced. The segments are
> added to the blocking dequeue, which is served by a number of the consumer
> threads, writing the segments to the cloud. There's also a map UUID->Segment,
> which allows to return the segments in case they are requested by the
> readSegment() method before they are actually persisted. Segments are removed
> from the map only after a successful write operation.
> The flush() method blocks accepting the new segments and returns after all
> waiting segments are written. The close() method waits until the current
> operations are finished and stops all threads.
> The asynchronous mode can be disabled by setting the number of threads to 0.
> h5. Queue recovery mode
> If the Azure Blob Storage write() operation fails, the segment will be
> re-added and the queue is switched to an "recovery mode". In this mode, all
> the threads are suspended and new segments are not accepted (active waiting).
> There's a single thread which retries adding the segment with some delay. If
> the segment is successfully written, the queue will back to the normal
> operation.
> This way the unavailable remote service is not flooded by the requests and
> we're not accepting the segments when we can't persist them.
> The close() method finishes the recovery mode - in this case, some of the
> awaiting segments won't be persisted.
> h5. Consistency
> The asynchronous mode isn't as reliable as the standard, synchronous case.
> Following cases are possible:
> * TarWriter#writeEntry() returns successfully, but the segments are not
> persisted.
> * TarWriter#writeEntry() accepts a number of segments: S1, S2, S3. The S2 and
> S3 are persisted, but the S1 is not.
> On the other hand:
> * If the TarWriter#flush() returns successfully, it means that all the
> accepted segments has been persisted.
> h5. Recovery
> During the segment recovery (eg. if the index file is missing), the Azure
> implementation checks if there's no missing segment in the middle. If so,
> only the consecutive segments are recovered. For instance, if we have S1, S2,
> S3, S5, S6, S7, then the recovery process will return only the first three.
