[rabbitmq-discuss] BasicAck and Timeout

Thu May 26 08:30:28 BST 2011

Hi,

That shouldn't be a problem. Here is what the 2nd tutorial says:
"If a consumer dies without sending an ack, RabbitMQ will understand
that a message wasn't processed fully and will redeliver it to another
consumer. That way you can be sure that no message is lost, even if
the workers occasionally die.

There aren't any message timeouts; RabbitMQ will redeliver the message
only when the worker connection dies. It's fine even if processing a
message takes a very, very long time."

Regards,

Valentin.
