table storage implementation

[wellDan28]

Hey, I want to suggest to add a table storage implementation. I would happy to help implement it.

hi @wellDan28 ! This would be really appreciated! How can I help you to get up speed with Azurite development? I could start a Wiki which describes the repo structure, design etc.

[wellDan28]

hey @arafato,
More documentation is always great, I can't see anything specific that I need right now,
I'll ask here if I would have any questions
I'll start to implement the following actions:

1. Create Table
2. Delete Table
3. Insert Entity
4. Query Entities

I think that's enough for a first "table implementation PR" , other actions implementation should be in a separate PRs

@wellDan28 this is super cool! Will this be in-memory only or do you also plan to persist to disk? I don't have a specific opinion about that, Queue Emulator is not persisting to disk at all at the moment for example while Blob Storage does (files of course and also metadata).

I'm not sure yet, I'll update when I'll have more insights.

@wellDan28 do you need any help with the Table Implementation? I can help you with that

[arafato]

@wellDan28 there is now actually a real customer request for table storage emulation so I'm starting implementation at https://github.com/arafato/azurite/tree/tablestorage. Once the base work is finished (see #141) contributions are very much welcome. Will keep you posted here.

@pmanlukas sorry I didn't saw your message. As you can see it's not relevant until @arafato will finish the base work. thanks!

@wellDan28 @pmanlukas : basework is finished, feel free to grab an item :-)
