Breaking changes
- The behavior of listing operations has been modified:
- The previous
marker
parameter has been removed. - The iterable response object now supports a
by_page
function that will return a secondary iterator of batches of results. This function supports acontinuation_token
parameter to replace the previousmarker
parameter.
- The previous
- The new listing behaviour is also adopted by the
receive_messages
operation:- The receive operation returns a message iterator as before.
- The returned iterator supports a
by_page
operation to receive messages in batches.
New features
- Added async APIs to subnamespace
azure.storage.queue.aio
. - Distributed tracing framework OpenCensus is now supported.
Dependency updates
-
Adopted azure-core 1.0.0b2
- If you later want to revert to azure-storage-queue 12.0.0b1, or another Azure SDK library requiring azure-core 1.0.0b1, you must explicitly install azure-core 1.0.0b1 as well. For example:
pip install azure-core==1.0.0b1 azure-storage-queue==12.0.0b1
Fixes and improvements
- General refactor of duplicate and shared code.
Version 12.0.0b1 is the first preview of our efforts to create a user-friendly and Pythonic client library for Azure Storage Queues. For more information about this, and preview releases of other Azure SDK libraries, please visit https://aka.ms/azure-sdk-preview1-python.
Breaking changes: New API design
-
Operations are now scoped to a particular client:
QueueServiceClient
: This client handles account-level operations. This includes managing service properties and listing the queues within an account.QueueClient
: The client handles operations within a particular queue. This includes creating or deleting that queue, as well as enqueueing and dequeueing messages.
These clients can be accessed by navigating down the client hierarchy, or instantiated directly using URLs to the resource (account or queue). For full details on the new API, please see the reference documentation.
-
New message iterator, for receiving messages from a queue in a continuous stream.
-
New underlying REST pipeline implementation, based on the new
azure-core
library. -
Client and pipeline configuration is now available via keyword arguments at both the client level, and per-operation. See reference documentation for a full list of optional configuration arguments.
-
Authentication using
azure-identity
credentials- see the Azure Identity documentation for more information
-
New error hierarchy:
- All service errors will now use the base type:
azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError
- The are a couple of specific exception types derived from this base type for common error scenarios:
ResourceNotFoundError
: The resource (e.g. queue, message) could not be found. Commonly a 404 status code.ResourceExistsError
: A resource conflict - commonly caused when attempting to create a resource that already exists.ResourceModifiedError
: The resource has been modified (e.g. overwritten) and therefore the current operation is in conflict. Alternatively this may be raised if a condition on the operation is not met.ClientAuthenticationError
: Authentication failed.
- All service errors will now use the base type:
-
No longer have specific operations for
get_metadata
- useget_properties
instead. -
No longer have specific operations for
exists
- useget_properties
instead. -
Operations
get_queue_acl
andset_queue_acl
have been renamed toget_queue_access_policy
andset_queue_access_policy
. -
Operation
put_message
has been renamed toenqueue_message
. -
Operation
get_messages
has been renamed toreceive_messages
.
