[rabbitmq-discuss] using client from different threads

[john doe]

Hello,

@ Mysurf: I asked almost the same questions about two weeks ago ("questions
about RpcClient")

@ Steve: Nice to see that you are working on improving these classes. I
actually had three major issues with RpcClient:
- the lack of interface which made mocking quite difficult for unit testing
(I had to inherit from the class)
- the fact that the routing key is a final attribute of the class (which
makes me create multiple clients when using several routing keys)
- the lack of a "single request / multiple replies" scenario (with a
expected number of replies and a timeout)
