Unable to find UseAzureTableReminderService on Microsoft.Orleans.Reminders.AzureStorage v3.6.x onward

[Desz01ate]

Refer to https://dotnet.github.io/orleans/docs/grains/timers_and_reminders.html#configuration

I was able to find UseAzureTableReminderService on Microsoft.Orleans.Reminders.AzureStorage v3.5.1 just fine, however when upgrading to v3.6.x the extension method is nowhere to be found, is it renamed or am I missing something?

[taurusni]

The extension method is applied to both ISiloHostBuilder and ISiloBuilder in v3.5.1. But the method is only applied to ISiloBuilder in v3.6.2.

Is there any reason for that change?

Thanks

Sorry I thought I already responded to that issue.

@Desz01ate We changed how to configure the azure storage providers. Now it can be configured like this: builder.UseAzureTableReminderService(connectionString)

@taurusni ISiloHostBuilder is deprecated, you should use ISiloBuilder instead.

@benjaminpetit thanks for the solution!

@benjaminpetit Thanks for the clarification.

However, the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/orleans.hosting.isilohostbuilder?view=orleans-3.0 doesn't mention that and the migration from ISiloHostBuilder to ISiloBuilder is not seamlessly. For example, OrleansServiceListener still depends on the ISiloHostBuilder

Will ISiloHostBuilder be obsolete in Orleans 4.0?

Thanks in advance.

@taurusni sorry missed the last message.

Yes ISiloHostBuilder is removed from 4.0

@taurusni were you able to figure out how to migrate from ISiloHostBuilder to ISiloBuilder when upgrading to 3.6.x? I am not seeing a method exposed on the OrleansServiceListener which would accept ISiloBuilder so not sure how to fix that? @benjaminpetit any thoughts?

[ReubenBond]

For the Service Fabric case, we recommend a different approach. We recommend integrating IHost with the SF communication listener lifetime and adding Orleans to that IHost (via the IHostBuilder.UseOrleans(...) extension method). For an example, see: HostedServiceStatelessService

@thakursagar I didn't do the migration. Will do that when I can not avoid. The missing function is maintained locally for the time being.

@ReubenBond Thanks for the suggestion.
