[rabbitmq-discuss] Identify master node

[Girish Gangadharan]

Thanks, Emile.

I ran the command and here's what I see -

I was expecting to see the name of the queues and the master node listed
next to it. That's not quite what I see on the screen though.

Also, does a master node in this case refer to the node the queue was
created on? And if yes, does this mean if there are multiple queues in an
HA cluster (each created on a different node), there could multiple masters
at any given time in a mirrored queue set up?
