[rabbitmq-discuss] pub/sub and disconnections handling

[Tony Garnock-Jones]

Hi Matwey,

That's right. Publishers can sometimes learn about subscribers being
missing (see the "immediate" and "mandatory" flags to Basic.Publish), but
subscribers can in general not learn whether any matching publisher exists
at any given time.

One workaround might be to use something like my experimental
presence-exchange:

   - https://github.com/tonyg/presence-exchange
   -
   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rabbitmq-discuss/8BNgJ794840/VuNx-QiquKQJ

Cheers,
  Tony
