[rabbitmq-discuss] Testing Shovel on a WAN

[MELIQUE Denis (MORPHO)]

Thank you Simon.

I also did some testing with federation and compared with Shovel, but not in a clustered configuration.
I have tested only Shovel with clusters. I am going to test federation as well.
For the moment, I preferred using Shovel because federation seems to be less mature.
(not yet included in VMWare support, and many support activity on this forum).
This might be change with the version 2.8.1.
Reading RabbitMQ web site, I now have the feeling that federation is going to be the 
recommended solution, for my kind of application (multi-site through a WAN)
Am I right ?

Thank's 

Denis

Ah, right.

So the shovel does not handle clusters specially at all; if you 
configure the shovel on two cluster nodes you will get two shovels 
running in parallel. Each message will go through one shovel or the 
other, but the order will get mixed up.

Federation is different; in a cluster each federation link will only 
exist once. I wonder if the shovel should be more like federation in 
this regard...

Cheers, Simon
