[rabbitmq-discuss] How to achieve HA consumers?

[Rosa, Andrea (HP Cloud Services)]

Hi Francesco,

Sorry but I didn't understand your solution:

>  * You create a second queue that we'll call "token queue", and you
>publish one
>    dummy message in it, with acks enabled.  Then, a consumer wishing to
>consume
>    from your queue, will:
>
>      - Consume from the token queue
>      - Start consuming from the actual queue
>      - When shutting down, publish a dummy message to the token queue

Which consumer needs to consume from the "token queue"?
When the second consumer will start to consume messages?

Regards
