[rabbitmq-discuss] Cluster size limit

[Advait Alai]

Hi,

I'm trying to add 150 nodes to a RabbitMQ cluster. After around 50 nodes,
the stop-reset-cluster-start iteration starts giving the error:

Stopping node rabbit at node130 ...
...done.
Resetting node rabbit at node130 ...
...done.
Clustering node rabbit at node130 with [rabbit at node117] ...
...done.
Starting node rabbit at node130 ...
Error: {cannot_start_application,rabbit,
           {bad_return,
               {{rabbit,start,[normal,[]]},
                {'EXIT',{rabbit,failure_during_boot}}}}}

Note that I am sequentially adding nodes to build a cluster (as an
initialization step) before creating any queues/exchanges or running any
amqp script.

How do I solve this problem? Is it because RabbitMQ imposes a hard cluster
size limit?

Also, does RabbitMQ scale well to around 1000 nodes?

Thanks
