EventProcessor<TPartition>.GetCheckpointAsync Method

Definition

Namespace:

Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Primitives

Assembly:

Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.dll

Package:

Azure.Messaging.EventHubs v5.11.5

Source:

EventProcessor.cs

Returns a checkpoint for the Event Hub, consumer group, and identifier of the partition associated with the event processor instance, so that processing for a given partition can be properly initialized. The default implementation calls the Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Primitives.EventProcessor`1.ListCheckpointsAsync(System.Threading.CancellationToken) and filters results by PartitionId. It's recommended that this method is overridden in EventProcessor<TPartition> implementations to achieve an optimal performance.

protected virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Primitives.EventProcessorCheckpoint> GetCheckpointAsync (string partitionId, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken);

abstract member GetCheckpointAsync : string * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Primitives.EventProcessorCheckpoint>
override this.GetCheckpointAsync : string * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Primitives.EventProcessorCheckpoint>

Protected Overridable Function GetCheckpointAsync (partitionId As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of EventProcessorCheckpoint)

Parameters

partitionId

String

The identifier of the partition for which to retrieve the checkpoint.

cancellationToken

CancellationToken

A CancellationToken instance to signal the request to cancel the processing. This is most likely to occur when the processor is shutting down.

Returns

Task<EventProcessorCheckpoint>

The checkpoint for the processor to take into account when initializing partition.

Remarks

Should a partition not have a corresponding checkpoint, the DefaultStartingPosition will be used to initialize the partition for processing.

In the event that a custom starting point is desired for a single partition, or each partition should start at a unique place, it is recommended that this method express that intent by returning checkpoints for those partitions with the desired custom starting location set.
