[rabbitmq-discuss] AlreadyClosedException always sets hardError and initiatedByApplication to true

[Steve Powell]

You are right: I have reproduced some of this.  Here is what I found in my small test:

Cancelling an unknown consumer doesn't appear to close the channel (!) (channel.isOpen() is true).  It throws an IOException("Unknown consumerTag").
Explicitly closing the channel and then trying the same channel.basicCancel() call doesn't appear to close the connection, either! Same IOException.
Issuing a 'real work' call after closing the channel, like channel.basicConsume(), throws an AlreadyClosedException, claiming that the connection is closed, but conn.isOpen() still returns true.

There might be a number of bugs here. But I think there is only one: the connection ought to be closed when trying to use a Channel that doesn't exist.  The other 'anomalies' could be working as designed: if no protocol violations are involved in the action, the Channel can remain intact.
