Description: # Azure EventHubs Checkpoint Store client library for Python using Storage Blobs
        
        Azure EventHubs Checkpoint Store is used for storing checkpoints while processing events from Azure Event Hubs.
        This Checkpoint Store package works as a plug-in package to `EventProcessor`. It uses Azure Storage Blob as the persistent store for maintaining checkpoints and partition ownership information.
        
        [Source code](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/eventhub/azure-eventhubs-checkpointstoreblob-aio) | [Package (PyPi)](https://pypi.org/project/azure-eventhub-checkpointstoreblob-aio/) | [API reference documentation](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-python/ref/azure.eventhub.extensions.html) | [Azure Eventhubs documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/) | [Azure Storage documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/)
        
        ## Getting started
        
        ### Install the package
        
        ```
        $ pip install --pre azure-eventhub-checkpointstoreblob-aio
        ```
        
        **Prerequisites**
        
        - Python 3.5.3 or later.
        - **Microsoft Azure Subscription:**  To use Azure services, including Azure Event Hubs, you'll need a subscription.  If you do not have an existing Azure account, you may sign up for a free trial or use your MSDN subscriber benefits when you [create an account](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/).
        
        - **Event Hubs namespace with an Event Hub:** To interact with Azure Event Hubs, you'll also need to have a namespace and Event Hub  available.  If you are not familiar with creating Azure resources, you may wish to follow the step-by-step guide for [creating an Event Hub using the Azure portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-create).  There, you can also find detailed instructions for using the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to create an Event Hub.
        
        - **Azure Storage Account:** You'll need to have an Azure Storage Account and create a Azure Blob Storage Block Container to store the checkpoint data with blobs. You may follow the guide [creating an Azure Block Blob Storage Account](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-create-account-block-blob).
        
        ## Key concepts
        
        ### Checkpointing
        
        Checkpointing is a process by which readers mark or commit their position within a partition event sequence. 
        Checkpointing is the responsibility of the consumer and occurs on a per-partition basis within a consumer group. 
        This responsibility means that for each consumer group, each partition reader must keep track of its current position 
        in the event stream, and can inform the service when it considers the data stream complete. If a reader disconnects from
        a partition, when it reconnects it begins reading at the checkpoint that was previously submitted by the last reader of
        that partition in that consumer group. When the reader connects, it passes the offset to the event hub to specify the 
        location at which to start reading. In this way, you can use checkpointing to both mark events as "complete" by 
        downstream applications, and to provide resiliency if a failover between readers running on different machines occurs. 
        It is possible to return to older data by specifying a lower offset from this checkpointing process. Through this 
        mechanism, checkpointing enables both failover resiliency and event stream replay.
        
        ### Offsets & sequence numbers
        Both offset & sequence number refer to the position of an event within a partition. You can think of them as a 
        client-side cursor. The offset is a byte numbering of the event. The offset/sequence number enables an event consumer 
        (reader) to specify a point in the event stream from which they want to begin reading events. You can specify a 
        timestamp such that you receive events enqueued only after the given timestamp. Consumers are responsible for 
        storing their own offset values outside of the Event Hubs service. Within a partition, each event includes an offset, 
        sequence number and the timestamp of when it was enqueued.
        
        ## Examples
        - [Create an Azure Storage Blobs `ContainerClient`](#create-an-azure-storage-blobs-containerclient)
        - [Create an Azure EventHubs `EventHubClient`](#create-an-eventhubclient)
        - [Consume events using an `EventProessor` that uses a `BlobPartitionManager`](#consume-events-using-an-eventprocessor-that-uses-a-blobpartitionmanager-to-do-checkpointing)
        
        ### Create an Azure Storage Blobs `ContainerClient`
        The easiest way to create a `ContainerClient` is to use a connection string.
        ```python
        from azure.storage.blob.aio import ContainerClient
        container_client = ContainerClient.from_connection_string("my_storageacount_connection_string", "mycontainer")
        ```
        For other ways of creating a `ContainerClient`, go to [Blob Storage library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob) for more details.
        
        ### Create an `EventHubClient`
        The easiest way to create a `EventHubClient` is to use a connection string.
        ```python
        from azure.eventhub.aio import EventHubClient
        eventhub_client = EventHubClient.from_connection_string("my_eventhub_namespace_connection_string", event_hub_path="myeventhub")
        ```
        For other ways of creating a `EventHubClient`, refer to [EventHubs library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/eventhub/azure-eventhubs) for more details.
        
        ### Consume events using an `EventProcessor` that uses a `BlobPartitionManager` to do checkpointing
        ```python
        import asyncio
        
        from azure.eventhub.aio import EventHubClient
        from azure.eventhub.aio.eventprocessor import EventProcessor, PartitionProcessor
        from azure.storage.blob.aio import ContainerClient
        from azure.eventhub.extensions.checkpointstoreblobaio import BlobPartitionManager
        
        eventhub_connection_str = '<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>'
        storage_container_connection_str = '<< CONNECTION STRING OF THE STORAGE >>'
        storage_container_name = '<< STORAGE CONTAINER NAME>>'
        
        class MyPartitionProcessor(PartitionProcessor):
            async def process_events(self, events, partition_context):
                if events:
                    # write your code here to process events
                    # save checkpoint to the data store
                    await partition_context.update_checkpoint(events[-1].offset, events[-1].sequence_number)
        
        async def main():
            eventhub_client = EventHubClient.from_connection_string(eventhub_connection_str, receive_timeout=5, retry_total=3)
            storage_container_client = ContainerClient.from_connection_string(storage_container_connection_str, storage_container_name)
            partition_manager = BlobPartitionManager(storage_container_client)  # use the BlobPartitonManager to save
            event_processor = EventProcessor(eventhub_client, "$default", MyPartitionProcessor, partition_manager)    
            async with storage_container_client:
                asyncio.ensure_future(event_processor.start())
                await asyncio.sleep(60)  # run for a while
                await event_processor.stop()
        
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
            loop.run_until_complete(main())
        ```
        
        ## Troubleshooting
        
        ### General
        Enabling logging will be helpful to do trouble shooting.
        Refer to [Logging](#logging) to enable loggers for related libraries.
