[rabbitmq-discuss] Fairness wrt queues under heavy load

[Eugene Kirpichov]

Hello,

I've got a large cluster with many consumers, and several producers
who publish a very intense steady stream of messages in
publish/confirm mode.

Some components occasionally submit a single but very important and
urgent message in transactional mode, which takes up to 5-10 minutes
to be delivered.

Is this expected behavior?

How can I avoid these obscenely large delays?
