EventProcessor<TPartition>.GetCheckpointAsync Method

Definition

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

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.
