The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the Azure Table reader is AZURE_TABLE.
DATASET
The dataset is the Windows Azure storage service. This value is sometimes referred to as the account name and is the first part of the URL used to access the service from a browser. For example,
http://<storage service>.cloudapp.net

Required
DEF
The syntax of the definition is:
AZURE_TABLE_DEF <tableName>[<fieldName> <fieldType>] +
The <fieldType> of each field must be given, but it is not verified against the database definition for the field. In effect, it is ignored. The exception to this is the geometry field type, which is not placed in the DEF.

EXPOSED_ATTRS
This directive allows the selection of format attributes to be explicitly added to the reader feature type.
This is similar to exposing format attributes on a reader feature type once it has been generated; however, it is even more powerful because it enables schema-driven applications other than Workbench to access and leverage these attributes as if they were explicitly on the schema as user attributes.
The result of picking a list of attributes is a comma-separated list of attribute names and types that will be added to the schema features. Currently all reader feature types will receive the same set of additional schema attributes for a given instance of the reader.

Not applicable.
While it is possible for FME Objects applications to invoke this directive, the required format is not documented.
This directive is intended for use in our GUI applications (for example, Workbench) only.
