Description:
This wait type is when the FILESTREAM I/O manager for availability groups is sleeping between checks for completion of any I/Os sending FILESTREAM data to replicas. This wait occurs every 0.5 seconds for 0.5 seconds, regardless of whether any availability groups are configured.

Extended Events wait_type value:
Maps to the HADRFS_IOMGR_IOCOMPLETION map_value in sys.dm_xe_map_values (thanks to Jonathan’s post here).
The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 782 in 2012 and 800 in 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.
Other information:
I have not seen this wait type be a noticeable contention point.
This wait type is one that I usually filter out as a benign wait when doing wait statistics analysis.
