> This change adds a seek-able stream for reading block blobs to the wasb:// file system.
> If seek() is not used or if only forward seek() is used, the behavior of read() is unchanged.
> That is, the stream is optimized for sequential reads by reading chunks (over the network) in
> the size specified by "fs.azure.read.request.size" (default is 4 megabytes).
> If reverse seek() is used, the behavior of read() changes in favor of reading the actual number
> of bytes requested in the call to read(), with some constraints.  If the size requested is smaller
> than 16 kilobytes and cannot be satisfied by the internal buffer, the network read will be 16
> kilobytes.  If the size requested is greater than 4 megabytes, it will be satisfied by sequential
> 4 megabyte reads over the network.
> This change improves the performance of FSInputStream.seek() by not closing and re-opening the
> stream, which for block blobs also involves a network operation to read the blob metadata. Now
> NativeAzureFsInputStream.seek() checks if the stream is seek-able and moves the read position.
