Q39 Event Hubs Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which approach handles a poison event that repeatedly crashes the processor?

  1. A Increase throughput units
  2. B Catch the exception, write the event to a dead-letter store, checkpoint past it, and continue (correct answer)
  3. C Delete the partition
  4. D Reduce retention

Shortcut: Event Hubs has no built-in dead-lettering. The consumer must isolate the bad event itself and advance the checkpoint, otherwise the partition stalls permanently.
