title: Create Directory Hierarchy Structure in Azure Tables Storage
body: <p>Is it possible to create a directory like structure in Azure Tables?</p>
  
  <p>I need to store some metadata in a tree like structure.</p>
  
  <p>For example if I have 10 items and each item contains some metadata columns (there are some common columns for all of them [id, name, date created, author ... ], but might be also some columns that one item might have but another one no)</p>
  
  <p>Can these items be stored in a structural way?</p>
  
  <pre><code>      Item1
          |_____ Item2
                   |_____ Item3
                            |_____ ItemX
  </code></pre>
