[rabbitmq-discuss] mirrored queue cluster

Fri Oct 4 21:30:36 BST 2013

Only 1 consumer can consume a message from a Queue right ... With multiple clients we are expecting multiple consumers .. and we need to have the same message consumed by all the consumers ..
I have seen the tutorial from that it looks like each consumer needs to have a separate queue and so a copy of a message will be forwarded ...

In case we are mirroring queues..Why do we want to mirror all the queues since they have exactly same messages ...

Topic is an exchange type. Queues can be mirrored, exchanges are *always* mirrored between
all nodes in a cluster.

They should consume from queues that will have messages with specific routing keys
be routed to them.

See http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html if it is still not clear. Message
distribution happens in routing time. Mirroring after messages reach a queue.
