Microsoft Orleans Stream Provider for Azure Event Hubs

Introduction

Microsoft Orleans Stream Provider for Azure Event Hubs enables Orleans applications to leverage Azure Event Hubs for reliable, scalable event processing. This provider allows you to use Event Hubs as a streaming backbone for your Orleans application to both produce and consume streams of events.

Getting Started

To use this package, install it via NuGet:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Orleans.Streaming.EventHubs

Example - Configuring Event Hubs Stream Provider

using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Orleans.Configuration;
using Orleans.Hosting;
namespace ExampleGrains;
var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args)
 .UseOrleans(siloBuilder =>
 {
 siloBuilder
 .UseLocalhostClustering()
 // Configure Azure Event Hubs as a stream provider
 .AddEventHubStreams(
 "EventHubStreamProvider",
 configurator => 
 {
 configurator.ConfigureEventHub(builder => builder.Configure(options => 
 {
 options.ConnectionString = "YOUR_EVENT_HUB_CONNECTION_STRING";
 options.ConsumerGroup = "YOUR_CONSUMER_GROUP"; // Default is "$Default"
 options.Path = "YOUR_EVENT_HUB_NAME";
 }));
 
 configurator.UseAzureTableCheckpointer(builder => builder.Configure(options => 
 {
 options.ConnectionString = "YOUR_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING";
 options.TableName = "EventHubCheckpoints"; // Optional
 }));
 });
 });
// Run the host
await builder.RunAsync();

Example - Using Event Hub Streams in a Grain

// Grain interface
public interface IStreamProcessingGrain : IGrainWithGuidKey
{
 Task StartProcessing();
}
// Grain implementation
public class StreamProcessingGrain : Grain, IStreamProcessingGrain
{
 private IStreamProvider _streamProvider;
 private IAsyncStream<MyEvent> _stream;
 private StreamSubscriptionHandle<MyEvent> _subscription;
 public override async Task OnActivateAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
 {
 // Get the stream provider
 _streamProvider = GetStreamProvider("EventHubStreamProvider");
 
 // Get a reference to a specific stream
 _stream = _streamProvider.GetStream<MyEvent>(this.GetPrimaryKey(), "MyStreamNamespace");
 
 await base.OnActivateAsync(cancellationToken);
 }
 public async Task StartProcessing()
 {
 // Subscribe to the stream to process events
 _subscription = await _stream.SubscribeAsync(OnNextAsync);
 }
 private Task OnNextAsync(MyEvent evt, StreamSequenceToken token)
 {
 Console.WriteLine($"Received event: {evt.Data}");
 return Task.CompletedTask;
 }
 // Produce an event to the stream
 public Task SendEvent(MyEvent evt)
 {
 return _stream.OnNextAsync(evt);
 }
}
// Event class
public class MyEvent
{
 public string Data { get; set; }
}
