Question: Can Another Backend Instance Continue Polling if One Instance Restarts During Document Intelligence Analysis? about azure-sdk-for-python HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll investigate asap.

@aymenfurter I'm actually impressed that you were able to figure out this low level "continue polling" code. All my respect for that :)

The official way is something like (not tested, so a few adjustement may be necessary):

poller = client.begin_analyze_document(
   None,
   continuation_token=continuation_token
)

The code will bypass starting the operation, and recreate the poller. See here:

It's not ideal that we have to pass a fake None to all required parameters, so I asked @kashifkhan to redesign, but it may take some time.

In the meantime, your code, or the official code, all works fine.

Hi @lmazuel

Thank you for your reply with the clean code. This looks much more robust! 👍

Is there a way to access the underlying Operation-location instead of dealing with the continuation_token? Ideally, I would like to use the SDK to trigger the analysis request and then use the Operation-location to check the current status or retrieve the results, without going through the poller (essentially using the SDK as a thin layer over the API), or would you say in such a scenario it's better to directly interact with the REST API?
