Manages the partial causal ordering of events for a particular consumer. This module
maintains a buffer of events to be processed, aiming to process them in the order they
occurred causally.
preceding_event_confirmed(self, handler: event_handler, event: ReceivedEvent, depth: int = 0)
Events may optionally declare that they logically follow another event, so that
we can preserve important event orderings in the face of unreliable delivery and
ordering of messages from the queues.This function keeps track of the ID of each event that this shard has successfully
processed going back to the PRECEDING_EVENT_LOOKBACK period. If an event arrives
that must follow another one, confirm that we have recently seen and processed that
event before proceeding.event (ReceivedEvent): The event to be processed. This object should include metadata indicating
if and what event it follows.
depth (int, optional): The current recursion depth, used to prevent infinite recursion due to
cyclic dependencies between events. Defaults to 0.Raises EventArrivedEarly if the current event shouldn’t be processed yet.
