This class provides a fluent builder API to aid the instantiation of EventHubProducerAsyncClient, EventHubProducerClient, EventHubConsumerAsyncClient, and EventHubConsumerClient. Calling any of the .build*Client() methods will create an instance of the respective client.

Credentials are required to perform operations against Azure Event Hubs. They can be set by using one of the following methods:

In addition, the consumer group is required when creating EventHubConsumerAsyncClient or EventHubConsumerClient.

Creating an asynchronous EventHubProducerAsyncClient using Event Hubs namespace connection string

In the sample, the namespace connection string is used to create an asynchronous Event Hub producer. Notice that "EntityPath" is not a component in the connection string.

 // The required parameter is a way to authenticate with Event Hubs using credentials.
 // The connectionString provides a way to authenticate with Event Hub.
 EventHubProducerAsyncClient producer = new EventHubClientBuilder()
     .connectionString(
         "Endpoint={fully-qualified-namespace};SharedAccessKeyName={policy-name};SharedAccessKey={key}",
         "event-hub-name")
     .buildAsyncProducerClient();

Creating a synchronous EventHubConsumerClient using an Event Hub instance connection string

In the sample, the namespace connection string is used to create a synchronous Event Hub consumer. Notice that "EntityPath" is in the connection string.

 // The required parameters are `consumerGroup`, and a way to authenticate with Event Hubs using credentials.
 EventHubConsumerClient consumer = new EventHubClientBuilder()
     .connectionString("Endpoint={fully-qualified-namespace};SharedAccessKeyName={policy-name};"
         + "SharedAccessKey={key};Entity-Path={hub-name}")
     .consumerGroup("$DEFAULT")
     .buildConsumerClient();

Creating producers and consumers that share the same connection

By default, a dedicated connection is created for each producer and consumer created from the builder. If users wish to use the same underlying connection, they can toggle shareConnection().

 // Toggling `shareConnection` instructs the builder to use the same underlying connection
 // for each consumer or producer created using the same builder instance.
 EventHubClientBuilder builder = new EventHubClientBuilder()
     .connectionString("event-hubs-instance-connection-string")
     .shareConnection();

 // Both the producer and consumer created share the same underlying connection.
 EventHubProducerAsyncClient producer = builder.buildAsyncProducerClient();
 EventHubConsumerAsyncClient consumer = builder
     .consumerGroup("my-consumer-group")
     .buildAsyncConsumerClient();

  • Constructor Details

    • EventHubClientBuilder

      public EventHubClientBuilder()
      Creates a new instance with the default transport AmqpTransportType.AMQP and a non-shared connection. A non-shared connection means that a dedicated AMQP connection is created for every Event Hub consumer or producer created using the builder.

  • Method Details

    • connectionString

      public EventHubClientBuilder connectionString(String connectionString)
      Sets the credential information given a connection string to the Event Hub instance.

      If the connection string is copied from the Event Hubs namespace, it will likely not contain the name to the desired Event Hub, which is needed. In this case, the name can be added manually by adding "EntityPath=EVENT_HUB_NAME" to the end of the connection string. For example, "EntityPath=telemetry-hub".

      If you have defined a shared access policy directly on the Event Hub itself, then copying the connection string from that Event Hub will result in a connection string that contains the name.

      Specified by:
      connectionString in interface com.azure.core.client.traits.ConnectionStringTrait<EventHubClientBuilder>
      Parameters:
      connectionString - The connection string to use for connecting to the Event Hub instance. It is expected that the Event Hub name and the shared access key properties are contained in this connection string.
      Returns:
      The updated EventHubClientBuilder object.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if connectionString is null or empty. Or, the connectionString does not contain the "EntityPath" key, which is the name of the Event Hub instance.
      com.azure.core.exception.AzureException - If the shared access signature token credential could not be created using the connection string.

    • clientOptions

      public EventHubClientBuilder clientOptions(com.azure.core.util.ClientOptions clientOptions)
      Sets the client options.
      Specified by:
      clientOptions in interface com.azure.core.amqp.client.traits.AmqpTrait<EventHubClientBuilder>
      Parameters:
      clientOptions - The client options.
      Returns:
      The updated EventHubClientBuilder object.

    • connectionString

      public EventHubClientBuilder connectionString(String connectionString, String eventHubName)
      Sets the credential information given a connection string to the Event Hubs namespace and name to a specific Event Hub instance.
      Parameters:
      connectionString - The connection string to use for connecting to the Event Hubs namespace; it is expected that the shared access key properties are contained in this connection string, but not the Event Hub name.
      eventHubName - The name of the Event Hub to connect the client to.
      Returns:
      The updated EventHubClientBuilder object.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if connectionString or eventHubName is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if connectionString or eventHubName is an empty string. Or, if the connectionString contains the Event Hub name.
      com.azure.core.exception.AzureException - If the shared access signature token credential could not be created using the connection string.

    • configuration

      public EventHubClientBuilder configuration(com.azure.core.util.Configuration configuration)

      Parameters:
      configuration - The configuration store used to configure the EventHubAsyncClient.
      Returns:
      The updated EventHubClientBuilder object.

    • customEndpointAddress

      public EventHubClientBuilder customEndpointAddress(String customEndpointAddress)
      Sets a custom endpoint address when connecting to the Event Hubs service. This can be useful when your network does not allow connecting to the standard Azure Event Hubs endpoint address, but does allow connecting through an intermediary. For example: https://my.custom.endpoint.com:55300.

      If no port is specified, the default port for the transport type is used.

      Parameters:
      customEndpointAddress - The custom endpoint address.
      Returns:
      The updated EventHubClientBuilder object.
