[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ clustering fail over issue

[Rajasekhar P]

Created Cluster with two rabbitMQ nodes. Configuration is as below for
rabbit1 and rabbit2 nodes.

    1> CachingConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new
CachingConnectionFactory();
    connectionFactory.setAddresses("rabbit1:5672,rabbit2:5672");

2> node types
rabbit1 - disc node
rabbit2 - ram node
3> producer and consumer programs sits on rabbit2 node(ie> ram node)

    4> Producer sample code -
    String QueueName = "Queue.";
    for(int m=0; m<50000; m++){
    // send message

System.out.println(this.rabbitTemplate.getConnectionFactory().getHost());
    this.rabbitTemplate.convertAndSend(m);
    /*Thread.sleep(100);*/
    }

    5> consumer code -
    String QueueName = "Queue.";
    public void run() {
    System.out.println("Consumer running host : " +
this.connectionFactory.getHost());
    SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new
SimpleMessageListenerContainer();
    container.setConnectionFactory(this.connectionFactory);
    container.setQueueNames(this.queueName);
    container.setMessageListener(new MessageListenerAdapter(new
TestMessageHandler(this.connectionFactory.getHost()), new
JsonMessageConverter()));
    container.start();
    }

    TestMessageHandler class sample code-

    public TestMessageHandler(String hostName){
    System.out.println("Host: " + hostName);
    this.hostName = hostName;
    }

    // Handle message
    public void handleMessage(int message) {
    System.out.println("handleMessage Host: " + this.hostName);
    System.out.println("Int : " + message);
    }

    6> Each node executed below policy
    cmd> rabbitmqctl set_policy ha-all "^Queue\." "{""ha-mode"":""all""}"

    7> Started producer and consumer simultaneously. Could see host name as
"rabbit1" then stopped "rabbit1" node with "rabbitmqctl stop_app" command
to test fail-over scenario. Then got the below error

        WARN  [.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer]: Consumer raised
exception, processing can restart if the connection factory supports it
        com.rabbitmq.client.ShutdownSignalException: connection error;

        INFO  [.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer]: Restarting

Channel: AMQChannel(amqp://guest@192.168.97.70:5672/,1),
acknowledgeMode=AUTO local queue size=0

    after this warning, again am getting host name as "rabbit1" only.
actually it should be "rabbit2" as per my understanding but its not
happening.

        So, here are my Queries -

            1> Why am getting host name as "rabbit1" even after stopping?
            2> To test the fail-over do we require any load balancer?
            3> If my steps are wrong for testing fail-over case, please
provide steps for the same?
            4> How to distribute queues/messages to particular node, as
below, 1-500 messages/queues to node1, 501-1000 messages/queues to node2,
etc.
            5> Please let me know is there any other approach to test
fail-over scenario?

Appreciate any help on this.
