[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ clustering

Wed Dec 1 01:53:25 GMT 2010

Hi Kshitiz,

Unfortunately until now in my projects using Rabbit we don't found a way to
use Rabbit in HA/HP mode, just HA active/passive and I think that you are
trying to found one HA/HP that represents all nodes active.

Just to understand you are talking about millions of messages, do you really
need 4 nodes to process it?, We process 1kk messages per second with a
single node, messages with ~260bytes.

Talk about your case to us.

Regards.
