[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

I'm using this library and I'm trying to use the environment variable FIREBASE_STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST to get it to point to the local emulator that I'm running. It doesn't seem to work. However, when I search for FIREBASE_STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST in this project, I can't seem to find it either. The documentation lead me to believe that I can manipulate the SDK to use the emulator by setting this environment variable, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Java.

  1. Can someone confirm this?
  2. How should I be connecting my development server to the storage emulator? I detail how I tried to use the google cloud storage sdk to do that and failed here: https://github.com/googleapis/java-storage/issues/875
