Is rewind supported or not?

Question

evanlouie opened this issue 9 months ago · comments

The docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-instance-management?tabs=python#rewind-instances-preview) note that rewind as "This feature is currently not supported in Python". But I see that DurableOrchestrationClient does have an implementation of rewind on it.

Are the docs right/wrong? Is the existing implementation in DurableOrchestrationClient safe to use?

Hey @evanlouie , did you get a chance to try it out on your side? I assume the code already supports rewind for python.

It seems to work. My main concern is whether or not it is "safe" to use -- am I using a non GA feature? am I using code which might break?

Yes, this feature is currently in Preview, it's not GA yet. Adding @LilymaMS for awareness.
