Azure WebJob concurrency when using ServiceBusTrig

问题:

I have been using Azure Storage Queues to feed a WebJob, using the QueueTrigger attribute. I configure my QueueTrigger to dequeue a number of items for concurrent processing, like this:

public static void Main()
{
    JobHostConfiguration config = new JobHostConfiguration();
    config.NameResolver = new QueueNameResolver();

    config.Queues.NewBatchThreshold = 10;

    JobHost host = new JobHost(config);
    host.RunAndBlock();
}

public static void ExecuteStorageQueueItem([QueueTrigger("%AzureQueueName%")] CloudQueueMessage message, TextWriter logger)
{
    ProcessRequest(message.AsString, logger);
}

I would prefer to use Service Bus. Does the MaxConcurrentCalls parameter on ServiceBusConfiguration allow for the same automatic parallel execution? For example:

public static void Main()
{

    JobHostConfiguration config = new JobHostConfiguration();
    config.NameResolver = new QueueNameResolver();

    ServiceBusConfiguration serviceBusConfig = new ServiceBusConfiguration();
    serviceBusConfig.MessageOptions.MaxConcurrentCalls = 10;
    config.UseServiceBus(serviceBusConfig);

    JobHost host = new JobHost(config);
    host.RunAndBlock();
}

public static void ExecuteServiceBusItem([ServiceBusTrigger("%ServiceBusQueueName%")] BrokeredMessage message, TextWriter logger)
{
    ProcessRequest(message.GetBody<string>(), logger);            
}

I'm not sure whether MaxConcurrentCalls does what I think it does!

回答1:

Essentially yes, MaxConcurrentCalls defines the amount of threads used by the Client to process the queue.

When QueueClient.OnMessage method is called it starts a message pump on an infinte loop that is constantly polling. The OnMessageOptions.MaxConcurrentCall sets the number of concurrent calls to the callback the message pump should initiate.
