StorageClientException: The specified message does not exist?
- by Aaron
I have a simple video encoding worker role that pulls messages from a queue encodes a video then uploads the video to storage. Everything seems to be working but occasionally when deleting the message after I am done encoding and uploading I get a "StorageClientException: The specified message does not exist." Although the video is processed, I believe the message is reappearing in the queue because it's not being deleted correctly.
Is it possible that another instance
of the Worker role is processing and
deleting the message?
Doesn't the GetMessage() prevent
other worker roles from picking up
the same message?
Am I doing something wrong in the
setup of my queue?
What could be causing this message to
not be found on delete?
some code...
//onStart() queue setup
var queueStorage = _storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();
_queue = queueStorage.GetQueueReference(QueueReference);
queueStorage.RetryPolicy = RetryPolicies.Retry(5, new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0));
_queue.CreateIfNotExist();
public override void Run()
{
while (true)
{
try
{
var msg = _queue.GetMessage(new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0));
if (msg != null)
{
EncodeIt(msg);
PostIt(msg);
_queue.DeleteMessage(msg);
}
else
{
Thread.Sleep(WaitTime);
}
}
catch (StorageClientException exception)
{
BlobTrace.Write(exception.ToString());
Thread.Sleep(WaitTime);
}
}
}
