Apache httpclient 4.5.x is the new default implementation of http connections;
this supports a large configurable pool of connections along with
the ability to limit their lifespan.
The networking library can be chosen using the configuration
option fs.azure.networking.library
The supported values are
- APACHE_HTTP_CLIENT : Use Apache HttpClient [Default]
- JDK_HTTP_URL_CONNECTION : Use JDK networking library
Important: unless the networking library is switched back to
the JDK, the apache httpcore and httpclient must be on the classpath
