Global sequence number for Event Hubs (Service Bus)

Does anyone know if there is a global sequence number for Events in Azure Event Hubs (part of Service Bus)?

I know that you can get the sequence no and the offset from EventData but that is only in order for the partition. I need the sequence number across the whole event hub (ie all partitions). Cheers

If you are looking for a number that tells you in what order events have been received (or processed) I think that it is not there. It would mean that there need to be extensive communication between partitions to determine the right number and that will have a negative impact on the performance. – Peter Bons
You can use the "PartitionKey + SequenceNumber" to identify a message but no there is no global id. – Thomas

NO - there is no notion of Global Sequence Number for Event Hubs (ServiceBus). SequenceNumber is local to the EventHubs Partition. Same SequenceNumber's can occur on 2 partitions.
