Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's Azure SDK/API example and the Graph SDK references to determine whether long-running operations, polling, and callback URLs have an existing specification. Done would require an agreed Graph SDK specification or a clearly scoped implementation request; the payload names no files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

In Azure SDK/API as an example,
Long running operations are performed in the following flow?

  1. A URL is returned that can be used to retrieve the result of the operation once completed.
  2. The URL can be used to monitor the status of the operation, at regular intervals until it is completed.
  3. Optionally a callback URL is availed that can be used to get notification once a long running operation is completed.

Technically, this looks like polling and a callback URL.

Do we have a spec on this for Graph SDKs @baywet @andrueastman @darrelmiller @ddyett @Ndiritu @samwelkanda
