If you want to ensure that only one consumer can get messages from a
queue then set the exclusive flag.

This should not be a problem. If the connection of one consumer has
already closed by the time the second consumer opened then there will be
no overlap in subscriptions. If consumers subscribe without autoAck then
unacknowledged messages will be returned to the queue when a connection
terminates, and any subsequent consumer will be able to process such
messages.
