Support for ReportMethod.Table

[JJ11teen]

Hey team, just wondering what the plan is for using report_method=ReportMethod.Table when ingesting in python? I stumbled upon docs for it in the .NET kusto ingest samples and it would be very helpful for my current use case (where the client is short lived). Is this in the backlog or is there an ETA for it?

See here for the functionality in .NET:

This task is currently not scheduled.
We commonly recommend a fire and forget ingestion, as table status does not scale up well (lower limits then Kusto ingestion capabilities).

Thanks for the reply Yochai Gilad (@yogilad)!

I am looking to build a method where users can trigger an ingestion, and then query the status of that ingestion - my thinking is that would be relatively straight forward with tracking_id in combination with ReportMethod.Table? How do you recommend accomplishing this with queues?

An additional factor here is that the service is serverless (using azure functions), is there a documented way to consume the status queue that does not require a long lived client?

TIA!

You can consider using C#, Java or Go to implement your task.

Hey Yochai Gilad (@yogilad), unfortunately that is not feasible for us. Please consider this a feature request for supporting ReportMethod.Table in azure-kusto-python (:

Hi Lucas Sargent (@JJ11teen) , we'll add this to the backlog.
We are accepting code contributions, so if this is important enough we can guide you through this.
