marberts opened a new pull request, #49553: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/49553
### Rationale for this change This PR adds support for Azure. The Arrow R package already has support for AWS and GCS, and the Arrow C++ library has had support for Azure for a couple years now. Support for Azure is already available in pyarrow. This would close #32123. ### What changes are included in this PR? - A new class `AzureFileSystem` that's analogous to `S3FileSystem`/`GcsFileSystem`, along with a helper function `az_container()` that's analogous to `s3_bucket()`/`gcs_bucket()`. - Updates to `src/filesystem.cpp` to interact with the machinery in `arrow/filesystem/azurefs.h`. - Updates to the configuration and build scripts to support building with support for Azure. - Updates to the vignettes on cloud storage and installation. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. See `tests/testthat/test-azure.R`. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. There is a new function `az_container()`, serving the analogous role to `s3_bucket()`/`gcs_bucket()`, along with an R6 class `AzureFileSystem`, again serving the same role as `S3FileSystem` and `GcsFileSystem`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
