Add ability to batch Storage.create() requests

[chamikaramj]

Seems like current batching API [1] does not support batching create [2] requests. Batching create requests might be needed for some use cases; for example, if a user needs to create a large number of small files.

If this is already supported it might be good to add an example.

Any timeline for this feature?We have a use case where we have to upload a number of small files to GCS and could do way better on throughput if this feature was available.

This feature would significantly imrove our application performance.
Any timeline for it?

@yihanzhen please, is there any new ticket we could watch? I can not find any reference to this closed ticket in the reference Feature-backlog document and also no new ticket that could be related to this topic. We would also greatly appropriate this batched feature to radically speed up upload of several thousands small files. Thanks a lot

Hey I no longer work on java libraries. I filed ^^^^ in the java storage's repo for current project owners to triage. Please follow it there for updates.
