[rabbitmq-discuss] stop when queue is empty

Mon Nov 22 12:14:47 GMT 2010

Thanks. That's useful. So there's a consumer count. I'd been thinking about
misbehaving workers... meaning that we may be waiting for a message to
reappear on the queue after a time to live period has expired? So that would
mean the worker can go on misbehaving and we wont care.  Of course this
assumes the message itself isn't malformed. We're not in a perfect world, so
choose one and move on.

In this situation nothing destructive needs to happen. Finished or nearly
finished is good enough for me.
