Q5 Event Hubs Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

What is the purpose of a checkpoint in the Event Processor client?

  1. A To acknowledge and delete events
  2. B To record the offset processed per partition so another host can resume from that point (correct answer)
  3. C To compact the log
  4. D To trigger scaling

Shortcut: Event Hubs never deletes on read. Checkpoints persist the last processed offset in a blob store, so a restarted or rebalanced processor resumes rather than reprocessing everything.
