Support for Azure Eventhub as well as IoT Hub

[portia.j.murray]

Our team is trying to refactor a CV solution similar to action recognition model (custom model) where we are using Azure EventHub. We chose eventhub over IoT hub as it has a larger message size and we need to regularly send multiple snapshots when events are detected therefore we could use the larger size. We expected to be able to use EventHub with the support options, as it is supposed to support through kafka with the port being set to 9093, but unfortunately this does not work as the authentication method is still different. Please see the error below. This was with using deepstream_test4 as we were just trying to send any message to eventhub to see if we could get it working. Deepstream’s kafka plugin tried to talk to our eventhub as if its kafka with SSL/TLS, but eventhubkafka requires SASL/SSL authentication so it failed. This is a major blocker for us. We have also set up IoT hub and it works but we need the larger message size and it is a cap on our workflow. Is there any plan to support Azure Eventhub?
