[rabbitmq-discuss] consistent hashing plugin

[Ernest Staszuk]

 From plugin's readme:

    Each message gets delivered to at most one queue. Normally, each

    message gets delivered to exactly one queue, but there is a race

    between the determination of which queue to send a message to, and the

    deletion/death of that queue that does permit the possibility of the

    message being sent to a queue which then disappears before the message

    is processed. Hence in general, at most one queue.

Note that consistent-hashing does not ensure persistence of messages due 
this issue.

In my experience consistent-hashing handles bindings removal or queue 
deletions
poorly. I had been running into NO ROUTE exception constantly when I used
consistent-hashing-exchange with auto-deleted queues.

I also tried to use alternate-exchanges to catch bad cases. Had 
difficulties
with that also.
