Ability to purge a queue

There are scenarios where purging a queue is necessary

• Testing scenarios
• Removing all messages because they are no longer needed
• Clearing out deferred messages when sequence numbers are no longer retained by an app

Similar functionality: ASQ`s CloudQueue.ClearAsync().

This would apply to both queue/subscription and associated DLQs.

This is something we can revisit in the future. We currently have an internal project that would make this much easier for us. The project will manage state against partitions.

Where's the OSS community in "us" when it's internal? Sharing is carrying, right? 😃

The project I am referring to is for our cluster management. It will simplify transactions across shards, allowing us to better ensure that messages have been purged from all.

Is this something that would be considered? Thank you.

@SeanFeldman it's on our list. But it may take sometime for us to reach to that item. 😢

[SeanFeldman]

@binzywu knowing it's planned is better than just wonder if it's even considered 🙂 Thank you.

[SeanFeldman]

Just pinging for an update 🙂 Thank you.

Any news on this?

[SeanFeldman]

Still wish this functionality would exists...
