[rabbitmq-discuss] Broken Pipe in RabbitMQ ConnectionFactory.newConnection()

[Michael Klishin]

John M.:

It is simply unnecessary and also really inefficient.

RabbitMQ's protocol assumes long lived connections.
I can imagine there are potential issues in connection shutdown code in some clients simply
because there typically is no good reason to constantly open and close them in "real world" code.

Consider using a long-lived connection first (one channel should be fine for RPC), and
if the issue does not go away, post a stack trace here.

Note that if you publish messages from multiple threads, each should use a separate channel
(connection sharing is fine).
