Consumer REST API for Azure Event Hub

Hello,

We have an existing setup where we use Kafka and we have a Kafka client written in Java that talks to the Kafka server. We have a Java producer that sends data to consumer for a topic and a Java consumer that subscribes to this topic and gets data fro kafka.

We are now trying to offer similar support for Azure Event Hub too.

From the documentation and examples, I can see that we can add similar code in Java. Basically a Java producer and consumer that talks to Azure Event Hub server.

We are now trying to do the same with REST API. I see that we have an API to send data to an Azure Event Hub server. But I don't see any field in that to include the topic.

In addition, is there an API to consume data for a particular topic or subscribe for a particular topic?

(Since the documentation mentions nothing about consumer API, I am assuming there is no support for consumer REST API in Azure Event hub. But wanted to confirm. Logically also, using REST API for this kind of system where producer and consumer behave in async fashion is not a good idea)

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Om
