# Release History

## 5.0.0-preview.7 (Unreleased)
## 5.0.0

Release notes will be provided here when the final set of features for the release is available.
Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make the Event Hubs client libraries better with their contributions to this release:

- Christopher Scott _([GitHub](https://github.com/christothes))_

### Changes

#### General

- A migration guide is now available for those moving from the 4.x version of the `Microsoft.Azure.EventHubs` libraries to the 5.0.0 version under the `Azure.Messaging.EventHubs` namespace.

#### Organization and naming

- Namespaces have been reorganized to align types to their functional area, reducing the number of types in the root namespace and offering better context for where a type is used. Cross-functional types have been left in the root while specialized types were moved to the `Producer`, `Consumer`, or `Processor` namespaces.

#### Event processing

- Load balancing has been tuned for better performance and lower resource use. (A community contribution, courtesy of [christothes](https://github.com/christothes))

- Reduction of reliance on Azure resources for Event Processor tests. (A community contribution, courtesy of [christothes](https://github.com/christothes))

- Logging has been implemented for Event Processor operations interacting with storage. (A community contribution, courtesy of [christothes](https://github.com/christothes))

- Logging has been implemented for general Event Processing operations, including background execution.

- A bug with resuming from a storage checkpoint was fixed, ensuring that processing resumes from the next available event rather than reprocessing the event from which the checkpoint was created.

- The protected `On[EventName]` members have been marked private to reduce the public surface and reduce confusion. They provided no benefit over providing a handler and the cognative cost was not justified.
jsquire marked this conversation as resolved.

- A large portion of the public API surface, including members and parameters, have had adjustments to their naming in order to improve discoverability, provide better context to developers, and better conform to the [Azure SDK Design Guidelines for .NET](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/dotnet_introduction.html).

#### Event Processing
#### Event processing

- The API for the `EventProcessorClient` has been revised, adopting an event-driven model that aligns to many of the .NET base class library types and reduces complexity when constructing the client.

- The handlers for event processing will now process events on an individual basis, allowing developers to control whether or not they wish to handle events as they're available or batch events before processing.

- The mechanism for creating checkpoints has been bundled with the event dispatched for processing; this allows a checkpoint to be created with a clear association with a given event, removing the need for developers to explicitly pass an event to a dedicated checkpoint manager.

#### Storage Operations
#### Storage operations

- The concept of a plug-in model for the durable storage used by the processor has been removed; this package has taken a strong dependency on Azure Storage Blobs and no longer requires developers to manipulate an abstraction on top of storage.

### Using an Active Directory principal with the Event Processor client

The [Azure Identity library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/identity/Azure.Identity/README.md) provides Azure Active Directory authentication support which can be used for the Azure client libraries, including Event Hubs and Azure Storage.

To make use of an Active Directory principal, one of the available identity tokens from the `Azure.Identity` library is also provided when creating the Event Processor client. In addition, the fully qualified Event Hubs namespace and the name of the desired Event Hub are supplied in lieu of the Event Hubs connection string.

```csharp
Uri blobStorageUrl = new Uri("<< FULLY-QUALIFIED BLOBS CONTAINER URL >>");

string fullyQualifiedNamespace = "<< FULLY-QUALIFIED EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE (like something.servicebus.windows.net)>>"
string eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";
string consumerGroup = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB CONSUMER GROUP >>";

TokenCredential credential = new DefaultAzureIdentity();
BlobContainerClient storageClient = new BlobContainerClient(blobStorageUrl, credential);

EventProcessorClient processor = new EventProcessorClient
(
storageClient,
consumerGroup,
fullyQualifiedNamespace,
eventHubName,
credential
);
```

When using Azure Active Directory with Event Hubs, your principal must be assigned a role which allows reading from Event Hubs, such as the `Azure Event Hubs Data Receiver` role. For more information about using Azure Active Directory authorization with Event Hubs, please refer to [the associated documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/authorize-access-azure-active-directory).

When using Azure Active Directory with Azure Storage, your principal must be assigned a role which allows read, write, and delete access to blobs, such as the `Storage Blob Data Contributor` role. For more information about using Active Directory Authorization with Azure Storage, please refer to the [the associated documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-auth-aad) and the [Azure Storage authorization sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/storage/Azure.Storage.Blobs/samples/Sample02_Auth.cs).

## Troubleshooting

### Common exceptions
### Event Processor client exceptions

The Event Processor client makes every attempt to be resilient in the face of exceptions and will take the necessary actions to continue processing unless it is impossible to do so. No action from developers is needed for this to take place; it is natively part of the processor's behavior.

In order to allow developers the opportunity to inspect and react to exceptions that occur within the Event Processor client operations, they are surfaced via the `ProcessError` event. The arguments for this event offer details about the exception and the context in which it was observed. Developers may perform normal operations on the Event Processor client from within this event handler, such as stopping and/or restarting it in response to errors, but may not otherwise influence the processor's exception behavior.

#### Timeout
For a basic example of implementing the error handler, please see the sample: [Manage the Event Processor when an error is encountered](./samples/Sample07_RestartProcessingOnError.cs).

This indicates that the Event Hubs service did not respond to an operation within the expected amount of time. This may have been caused by a transient network issue or service problem. The Event Hubs service may or may not have successfully completed the request; the status is not known. It is recommended to attempt to verify the current state and retry if necessary.
### Exceptions in event handlers

#### Quota Exceeded
Because the Event Processor client lacks the appropriate context to understand the severity of exceptions within the event handlers that developers provide, it cannot assume what actions would be a reasonable response to them. As a result, developers are considered responsible for exceptions that occur within the event handlers they provide using `try/catch` blocks and other standard language constructs.

This typically indicates that there are too many active event processors for a consumer group. This limit depends on the tier of the Event Hubs namespace, and moving to a higher tier may be desired. An alternative would be do create additional consumer groups and ensure that the number of active processors for any group is within the limit. Please see [Azure Event Hubs quotas and limits](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-quotas) for more information.
The Event Processor client will not attempt to detect exceptions in developer code nor surface them explicitly. The resulting behavior will depend on the processor's hosting environment and the context in which the event handler was called. Because this may vary between different scenarios, it is strongly recommended that developers code their event handlers defensively and account for potential exceptions.

### Other exceptions
### Exception details

For detailed information about these and other exceptions that may occur, please refer to [Event Hubs messaging exceptions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-messaging-exceptions).
For detailed information about exceptions that may occur, please refer to the Event Hubs client library [README]( https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/README.md#event-hubs-exception) and the service documentation for [Event Hubs messaging exceptions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-messaging-exceptions).

# Release History

## 5.0.0-preview.7 (Unreleased)
## 5.0.0

### Acknowledgements

Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make the Event Hubs client libraries better with their contributions to this release:

- Alberto De Natale _([GitHub](https://github.com/albertodenatale))_

### Changes

#### General

- A migration guide is now available for those moving from the 4.x version of the `Microsoft.Azure.EventHubs` libraries to the 5.0.0 version under the `Azure.Messaging.EventHubs` namespace.

- A bug was fixed that would intermittently cause a failure that caused retries to abort, potentially preventing recovery from transient failures.

- Several minor performance and efficiency improvements have been implemented.

#### Organization and naming

- Namespaces have been reorganized to align types to their functional area, reducing the number of types in the root namespace and offering better context for where a type is used. Cross-functional types have been left in the root while specialized types were moved to the `Producer`, `Consumer`, or `Processor` namespaces.

- The hierarchy of custom exceptions has been flattened, with only the `EventHubsException` remaining. The well-known failure scenarios that had previously been represented as stand-alone types are now exposed by a new `Reason` property to allow for applying exception filtering and other logic where inspecting the text of an exception message wouldn't be ideal.
