AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
Your distributed AI system uses Azure Event Hubs with multiple partitions. A downstream machine learning model worker needs to guarantee that all inference requests originating from the same client session are processed by the exact same worker instance and partition in order to maintain conversation context. How should you ensure this?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Include a consistent PartitionKey when publishing events to the Event Hub.
When publishing events to Event Hubs, you must supply a PartitionKey (such as the client session ID). Event Hubs hashes this key to route the event to the same partition consistently.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the Event Hub consumer group owner to exclusive mode.
Why it's wrong here
Exclusive receiver mode ensures only one reader per partition, but does not guarantee client-to-partition sticky routing during publishing.
- ✗
Enable Event Hubs Capture with automatic partition balancing.
Why it's wrong here
Event Hubs Capture archives stream data to storage; it does not control publisher routing.
- ✗
Configure a Service Bus session on the Event Hub consumer group.
Why it's wrong here
Service Bus sessions are a Service Bus feature and do not apply to Event Hubs consumer groups.
- ✓
Include a consistent PartitionKey when publishing events to the Event Hub.
Why this is correct
Providing a PartitionKey ensures all events with that key are routed to the same partition and processed by the same worker.
