Set vm_high_memory_watermark to a really low value (e.g. 0.0000001),
then as soon as a connection attempts to publish, it will be blocked.

Consumers cannot be blocked.

You can lose data that was in memory but not yet on disk.

Cleanly shutdown RabbitMQ before rebooting. Clients will be forcefully
disconnected (using connection.close).

You can also close connections using HTTP API [1].

GET /api/connections to get names, then
DELETE /api/connections/{name} for every connection there is.
