[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ dying during evaluation testing

Wed Apr 22 14:11:47 BST 2009

Jacek,

Is your requirement:

1. to persist messages on disk so that you do not lose them in a crash?
2. to remove messages from memory when they are stored on disk?

RabbitMQ already does 1.  If you make your messages persistent, they
are stored *both* in memory *and* on disk.

As Matthias mentioned, we are working on 2, which is needed in some situations.
