[rabbitmq-discuss] multiple consumers on one channel?

Thu Jul 2 18:23:27 BST 2009

Is it sane to have more than one basicConsume on a single channel?  I
have a simple test program that does two basicConsume calls with two
different consumers on two different queues, using the same channel.
It looks like all the messages are consumed from the first created
consumer, and then the second consumer is started.  Is it possible to
have multiple simultaneous consumers on the same channel, or is that
not a good idea?
