[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ clustering and node failure recovery strategies

Hi,

In general, please don't think of clustering as trying to provide HA.
Clustering is solely about scalability.

For HA, the only easy thing that currently exists is active/passive
which is documented at http://rabbitmq.com/pacemaker.html

In that guide, it does go so far as to explain how you can have a
cluster of nodes, in which each node is actually an active/passive HA
pair, and thus achieve both the scalability of clustering, with HA.
