[rabbitmq-discuss] How to have multiple consumers for a Queue in Ruby

[Jim Irrer]

Start multiple copies of the same program as different processes or
threads, and have them each bind to the same queue.  The default
RabbitMQ behavior seems to be a round robin as to which process
gets the next message.

This assumes that the messages on the queue can be processed in an
'embarrassingly parallel' sort of way.

Thanks,

- Jim
