[rabbitmq-discuss] Limitations with RabbitMQ Java Client

[Steve Powell]

It is not dangerous to share executors between connections.

If you supply your own Executor (which you must do if you want to share them), then the client will not shutdown the executor when the connection closes.  If you rely on the default, then the (private) executor is closed for you when the connection closes.

Sharing the executor between multiple connections by default means we would have to have a more complex rule for tidying up the (shared) executor, and possibly some option for setting it off? If the user needs this they can achieve it explicitly at present.
