[rabbitmq-discuss] message queues in clustered mode

Thu May 21 17:45:52 BST 2009

>From the Clustering Guide (emphasis mine):

"All data/state required for the operation of a RabbitMQ broker is
replicated across all nodes, for reliability and scaling, with full ACID
properties. *An exception to this are message queues, which currently only
reside on the node that created them*, though they are visible and reachable
from all nodes. Future releases of RabbitMQ will introduce migration and
replication of message queues."
