Hi, Yican:<br>
<br>
There are very clear and friendly discussions of setting up clusters and shovel<br>
in this book, of which a preview eBook edition is currently available (the print<br>
book should hit the stands sometime around March):<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.manning.com/videla/" target="_blank">http://www.manning.com/videla/</a><br>
<br>
It does not, however, cover the Federation plugin.  For that you&#39;ll have to look<br>
at the Rabbit web site.<br>
<br>
The following links are from RabbitMQ&#39;s own web site:<br>
<br>
For clustering Rabbit:  <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html" target="_blank">http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html</a><br>
<br>
For Federation:  <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2011/06/22/federation-plugin-preview-release/" target="_blank">http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2011/06/22/federation-plugin-preview-release/</a><br>
<br>
And for Shovel:  <a href="http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-shovel/file/default/README" target="_blank">http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-shovel/file/default/README</a><br>
<br>
It might require a bit more thought about your specific application to clinch<br>
the decision between Federation and Shovel.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Jerry<br>

<br>
Hi Jerry,<br>
<br>
Thanks for answer my email promptly.<br>
Yes, you&#39;re correct. That is exactly what I try to do.<br>
<br>
Is there any example or document I can follow?<br>
Thanks.<br>

&gt; Hi, Yican...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; If I understand your intentions correctly, you&#39;re proposing a use<br>
&gt; case that&#39;s quite commonly done, namely the clustering of nodes within<br>
&gt; a geographic location for increasing throughput, or perhaps HA, and<br>
&gt; then setting up Federation or Shovel to span the long hauls between<br>
&gt; your geographic locations.  This, plus judiciously picking which messages<br>
&gt; you plan to move between sites is the essence of the sort of WAN<br>
&gt; distribution you&#39;re after.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Best regards,<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Hi,<br>
<div class="im HOEnZb">&gt;<br>
&gt; I have a crazy idea:<br>
</div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">&gt; 1. clustering 3 nodes with HAQ (highly available queue) as group A.<br>
&gt; 2. clustering other 2 nodes with HAQ as group B.<br>
&gt; 3. federating/shoveling group A and group B with 1 or 2 exchange.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Group A and B will connect via WAN, so clustering is not recommended by RabbitMQ.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is it possible? If so, has anyone done this?<br>
&gt; Thanks a lot.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
