[rabbitmq-discuss] Sequential message processing guarantee

Mon Jan 23 14:54:15 GMT 2012

Hello Alex,

I thought, using default Connection con = factory.newConnection(),
ThreadPool which gets created will have more than one thread and
calling basicConsume will result in processing of messages on multiple
threads.

But if we explicitly provide Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor() to
newConnection method, only single thread will come into play with
basicConsume.

Is my understanding correct?

regards, Yogesh
