[rabbitmq-discuss] How to assure response even if rpc server goes down.

[Jesper Louis Andersen]

A trick is to make your messages idempotent. Then you can reissue the same
request again after a timeout, should you have had no response yet. It is a
protocol design trick that often helps because it circumvents the problem
of keeping state entirely. Also look at "best effort" delivery.
