[rabbitmq-discuss] Streaming Lightweight Publisher Confirms ?

On the broker: if the consumer doesn't acknowledge a message, the
message is kept until the consumer disconnects; at that point the
message is re-inserted on the queue.  The message is not considered
delivered until the consumer acknowledges it, so it will not cause a
publisher confirm to be issued.  Of course, while the broker is waiting
for the consumer to acknowledge the message, it may write it to disk, in
which case, the publisher confirm is issued immediately.

Maybe.  If the publisher confirm was issued, and the broker crashes,
when it comes back up, it will attempt to re-deliver the message.  If
the publisher confirm was *not* issued, the message was probably
lost and the publisher will need to re-publish the message.

What the publisher should probably do is this:
  1. confirmSelect the channel;
  2. publish some messages;
  3. call waitForConfirmsOrDie;
    3.1 if an exception was raised, the messages were probably lost and
    they need to be re-published;
    3.2 if no exception was raised, the broker has either written the
    messages to disk (and they will survive a broker restart) or it has
    delivered the messages to all consumers (and they have ack'd), so
    everything is fine and you can start publishing other messages.

Hope this clears things up.

Cheers,
Alex
