[rabbitmq-discuss] Deleted Queues still showing in Management Plug-in

[Ganann, Kale]

We had some issues with this approach - when we killed the final node it seemed to hose up the MNESIA db, and when we tried to reboot none of the nodes would come back fully - they either wouldn't start or wouldn't talk to each other.  I'd backed up the brokers and then spun up some new servers, which are working fine, but it wasn't a clean process getting there.  Any word on the timeline for that next release?

Thanks,
Kale

There is a known bug in HA which will be fixed in the next release which can cause behaviour like this (queue unresponsive in management and invisible in rabbitmqctl). It is triggered when you have a mirrored queue, and the master dies, and then the slave which would have been promoted to master dies before promotion can complete.

Does that sound like the sort of thing that could have happened? One way to make that happen without killing nodes on a precise timer is to switch from one ha-mode=nodes policy to another with minimal overlap.

I'm afraid the only work around at the moment is to stop the whole cluster and start it again. And the node which management claims has the master for this broken queue will hang at shutdown and need to be killed :-(

Cheers, Simon
