Thanks Alexis for your attention.

What I've done to the project have been already added to the text file
in the repository: README.CUSTOMIZED. As it might be too brief for you,
I'd like to explain some details in the following.

I've separated the initial modules to four individual ones, and the main
purpose is to index the codes by module. That is, the initial module (
mod_rabbitmq ) will communicate with the xmpp clients and route the
consume-related requests to the consumer processes, while all the
functions about how to consume are implemented in the consumer module (
mod_rabbitmq_consumer ). As these two modules will directly communicate
with the rabbitmq-node, some utility functions are distilled to an
individual module ( mod_rabbitmq_util ). To reduce the calls in function
like basic_consume, the mod_rabbitmq_util module will load a library to
the rabbitmq-node , and this is why the mod_rabbitmq_util_priv module is
designed.

Meanwhile,  a heartbeat check on the rabbitmq-node is added, which will
print error message when retrying to connect and grab the latest
rabbitmq-node configuration in ejabberd if the retry times overflowed a
default setting (5). The check on the connection is simply a ping
action. And once the rabbitmq-node was updated when retrying, it will
broadcast the change to all of the consumer processes, since the node
configuration is stored in the process data.

That's all I can think of it for now. Please do not hesitate to contact
me if any further information was required.

Thanks,
Eric
