[rabbitmq-discuss] Clustering Question

[Alexis Richardson]

As a matter of practicality we have found that 'eventual delivery'
(ie. what RabbitMQ currently does) combined with various 'lightweight'
forms of replicated flows, makes sense for many HA cases.  If you want
a combination of HA, reliability *and* timely delivery *and*
idempotency, then things get a little more 'fun'.
