Hi @calebak404 thanks for opening this issue. Actually, Terraform resource azurerm_eventhub supports namespace_name as an input. Could you please use namespace_name instead of namespace_id as detailed below?

resource "azurerm_eventhub" "example" {
  name                = "acceptanceTestEventHub"
  namespace_name        = azurerm_eventhub_namespace.example.name
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  partition_count     = 2
  message_retention   = 1
}

I've conveyed this to our account team as well, but the goal with this request is to have namespace_id as an option in addition to namespace_name.

1. Providing the resource id of the namespace is more explicit and exact
2. This brings the event_hub resource in line with other resources that take ID as an argument.
3. This allows for more flexibility in module design enabling us to reference a namespace that is in a different subscription that the one the provider is configured for.
