orchestrator | MySQL replication topology manager/visualizer

I'm having trouble troubleshooting this issue I'm running into when trying to run the sample packages for the framework.

For each infant package I get the following error:

My problem

I try to create templated yaml Azure Devops pipeline:

I have a plain simple Python function which should dead-letter a message if it does not match few constraint. Actually I'm raising an exception and everything works fine (I mean the message is being dead-lettered), but I would like to understand if there is a "clean" way to dead-letter the message without raising an exception.

Background

I have Spring Cloud Data Flow Server running in Kubernetes as a Pod. I am able to launch tasks from the SCDF server UI dashboard. I am looking to develop a more complicated, real-world task- pipeline use-case.

Instead of using the SCDF UI dashboard, I want to launch a sequential list of tasks from a standard Java application. Consider the following task pipeline :

Task 1 : Reads data from the database for the unique id received as task argument input and performs enrichments. The enriched record is written back to the database. Execution of one task instance is responsible for processing one unique id.

Task 2 : Reads the enriched data written by step 1 for the unique id received as task argument input and generates reports. Execution of one task instance is responsible for generating reports for one unique id.

It should be clear from the above explanation that Task 1 and Task 2 are sequential steps. Assume that the input database contains 50k unique ids. I want to develop an orchestrator Java program that would launch task 1 with a limit of 40. (i.e only 40 pods can be running at any given time for task 1. Any requests to launch more pods for task 1 should be put on wait). Once all 50k unique ids have been processed through Task 1 instances, only then can Task 2 pods should be launched.

What I found so far

Going through the documentation, I found something known as the CompositeTaskRunner. However, the examples show commands triggered on a shell/cmd window. I want to do something similar but instead of opening up a data-flow shell program, I want to pass arguments to a Java program that can internally launch tasks. This allows me to easily integrate my application with legacy code that knows how to integrate with Java code (Either by launching a Java program on-demand that should launch a set of tasks and wait for them to complete or by calling a Rest API).

Question

1. How to programmatically launch tasks on-demand with Spring Cloud Data Flow using Java instead of a data-flow shell? (Is there a Rest-API to do this or a simple Java program that will be run on a stand alone server should be fine too)
2. How to programmatically build a sequential pipeline with an upper limit on the number of pods that can be launched per task and with dependencies such that a task can only start once the previous task completed processing all the inputs.

I'm working with durable clients and I can't find the way to have multiple task hubs for each orchestrator in the same function app. Is this possible, and if so, how? Can I also have, between the same function app, multiple orchestrators using different storages?

Now I am using flutter html to render some article in my flutter app, this is my dependencies:

I have a durable functions app for processing submitted items differently based on a FileName property. The Orchestrator function Resembles the below, though the below is a simplified example to illustrate my scenario.

basically, I am function chaining differently based on the extension of the FileName property in the user submitted data.

I need something to suspend Lambdas in C++ and resume them. I try to narrow it down to a very simple example:

Lets assume I have a singleton class orchestrator where I can register a lambda:

I have this code, which is working if I remove version from msr code block. But if I add it - this error pop-ups. I've tried so far to interpolate conditional and to change types of the variables. No luck
