[rabbitmq-discuss] Shovel restart command hanging

Mon Aug 27 23:47:37 BST 2012

Hi,

Currently we are running Rabbitmq 2.8.2 and are running into some problems with a shovel configuration.  We were running into the shovel wedge issues that was mentioned in another discussion on this mailing list. It appeared to be sometimes resolved by the command: rabbitmqctl eval 'application:stop(rabbitmq_shovel), application:start(rabbitmq_shovel).'  However, other sometimes, executing this command would hang.  

Our other observations were as follows:
  * Executing all rabbit commands were hang (rabbitmqctl status, /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server status). A control-c breaks out of it
  * Rabbitmq continues to handle all messages  
  * Error messages from logs below
  * I have all all logs and the contents of the MNESIA_BASE directory if needed

We noticed that 2.8.6 RabbitMQ contains shovel fixes. Would the new version of RabbitMQ prevent the problems that we're seeing - we know that it will prevent a shovel from getting stuck in the terminated state but is something else also going on?  and if not, what is the recommended fix? 

Thanks!

Liz
