That's my main concern. I am totally fine with FIFO ordering, I just need a
way to have a way to read messages (both persistent and transient), for
example, via HTTP API.
Consistency requirements are also nothing special: if my solution will get a
slightly inconsistent snapshot once in a while, that's OK.

If messages are not stored in Mnesia, is there a way to query them in the
rabbitmq internal API? does Rabbit itself or one of existing plugins do
something like this?
