I have a pusher which brokers message x into an Azure Service bus. This is a customer request for some order.
A consumer comes along and wants to know “what is the state of message x”? I’d like to know as much as I can about message x, but at a minimum I need to answer “yes/no” is it still in the queue? Is there a recommended pattern for this within Azure Service Bus?
In View content of an Azure Service Bus queue Clemens Vasters explains that there is no browse feature available in Service Bus Queues/Topics at the moment. The only way to know the state is by storing it externally (take Table Storage for example).
