[Service Bus] Transactions

[shlomiassaf]

Is there any plan to support transactions?

Are you referring to the feature as described in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-transactions?

We are considering support for transactions for the next version of the @azure/service-bus package a few months down the line. Can you elaborate on how this feature is helpful in your application?

[shlomiassaf]

@ramya-rao-a yes, I’m referring to that feature.

There are a lot of scenarios of course.
For example, we have a backoff and retry mechanized which is pseudo random with an exponential delay period between retries.
When a retry is set, we clone the message and emit it with the delay calculated.
This operation requires emitting a new message while completing the current one which threw an error while being handled.

The only way for us to be sure it’s done right is having both operations atomic.

@ramya-rao-a is this backlog still or something going into the next version?

[ramya-rao-a]

Yes, this is in the Backlog as the milestone hints :)
Both in Python & JS, we plan to pick this up once the current version 7 of the Service Bus package moves out of preview.

An update based on current investigations:

Looks like rhea, the underlying AMQP library we use for Service Bus does not support the transactions feature. Therefore, we need first invest time in adding support there and then get back to the Service Bus package to utilize this AMQP feature. This issue will continue to be in our backlog for now until the support is added to rhea
