- Method Detail
  - getContext
```
BlobStoreContext getContext()
```
    Returns:
    a reference to the context that created this BlobStore.
  - blobBuilder
```
BlobBuilder blobBuilder(String name)
```
    Returns:
    builder for creating new Blobs
  - listAssignableLocations
```
Set<? extends Location> listAssignableLocations()
```
    The get locations command returns all the valid locations for containers. A location has a scope, which is typically region or zone. A region is a general area, like eu-west, where a zone is similar to a datacenter. If a location has a parent, that implies it is within that location. For example a location can be a rack, whose parent is likely to be a zone.
  - list
```
PageSet<? extends StorageMetadata> list()
```
    Lists all root-level resources available to the identity.
  - containerExists
```
boolean containerExists(String container)
```
    determines if a service-level container exists
  - createContainerInLocation
```
boolean createContainerInLocation(@Nullable
                                Location location,
                                String container)
```
    Creates a namespace for your blobs
    A container is a namespace for your objects. Depending on the service, the scope can be global, identity, or sub-identity scoped. For example, in Amazon S3, containers are called buckets, and they must be uniquely named such that no-one else in the world conflicts. In other blobstores, the naming convention of the container is less strict. All blobstores allow you to list your containers and also the contents within them. These contents can either be blobs, folders, or virtual paths.
    
    Parameters:
    location - some blobstores allow you to specify a location, such as US-EAST, for where this container will exist. null will choose a default location
    container - namespace. Typically constrained to lowercase alpha-numeric and hyphens.
    
    Returns:
    true if the container was created, false if it already existed.
