Azure-docs: What format is data stored in for IoT Hub routing to Blob Storage?

[olavt]

I was looking at the doc page here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/tutorial-routing

But, I could not find any information about what format data is stored in. Does it use Avro or something else? It should be mentioned.

Hello @olavt . The format used is Avro. See the following doc: Query Avro data by using Azure Data Lake Analytics

@robinsh can we add a note on this doc mentioning that the format used is Avro?

Thanks!

@sergaz-msft I'm working on adding the format to the routing tutorial. I'm also adding information about the format of the name of the blob files. I'll reply back here when it goes public.

@sergaz-msft and @olavt I've put in the change to both mention that the format of the data in the blobs will be Avro, and also added a note to explain the format for the blob names. It's been merged to master, and should show up after tomorrow morning's build. Thanks again for the feedback, @olavt.
