.SYNOPSIS
    AzStorageTableCoreHelper.psm1 - PowerShell Module that contains all functions related to manipulating Azure Storage Table rows/entities.
.DESCRIPTION
      AzStorageTableCoreHelper.psm1 - PowerShell Module that contains all functions related to manipulating Azure Storage Table rows/entities.
.NOTES
    Make sure the latest Azure PowerShell module is installed since we have a dependency on Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.dll and
    Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.dll.
 
    If running this module from Azure Automation, please make sure you check out this blog post for more information:
