Azurite Support on Visual Studio

I'm using Visual Studio 2017. and not sure whether it's the same issue on Visual Studio 2019 or not.

When I run VS2017 to debug an Azure Functions app, although I have Azurite running, it throws the error like this:


It seems that VS2017 only looks for Azure Storage Emulator. However, [this document](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azurite) says that

> Azurite is the future storage emulator platform. Azurite supersedes the Azure Storage Emulator.

It's OK it's not supporting Azurite at the moment, but I wonder whether:

* There is an overriding feature to opt-out Storage Emulator and opt-in Azurite, and
* When Azurite support is planned.

Just for the record, if I run the Function app in a command prompt by running the `func host start`, it's all good. The error only happens on Visual Studio.

Start by reproducing the Azure Functions app under Visual Studio 2017 with Azurite running, then compare it with `func host start`, which the report says works. Investigate whether Visual Studio can select Azurite instead of Azure Storage Emulator; done means documenting a working opt-in or recording the required support plan.
