[FEATURE REQ] [Tables] More direct deserialization

[wgebczyk]

Library name

Azure.Data.Tables

Please describe the feature.

Would be less CPU cycles and RAM if response stream could be passed to custom JSON Serializer that would handle final type creation and pushing data into object.

Context

As of now for example in case of GetEntityAsync<TableEntity> we get:

• creation of Azure.Response
• from that JsonDocument is created
• immediately Dictionary<string, object> is created as holder of prev JSON props
• there are some shenanigans with "translating" odata props
• and final TableEntity is created and properties are copied

Proposal

Option to make call GetEntityAsync<MyEntity>(jsonSerializer, partitionKey, rowKey) and the following happen:

• creation of Azure.Response
• creation of MyEntity and pushing members by serializer
