[rabbitmq-discuss] Is it possible that group clustering nodes shovel/federate with other group clustering nodes

[Jerry Kuch]

Hi, Yican:

There are very clear and friendly discussions of setting up clusters and shovel
in this book, of which a preview eBook edition is currently available (the print
book should hit the stands sometime around March):

http://www.manning.com/videla/

It does not, however, cover the Federation plugin.  For that you'll have to look
at the Rabbit web site.

The following links are from RabbitMQ's own web site:

For clustering Rabbit:  http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html

For Federation:  http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2011/06/22/federation-plugin-preview-release/

And for Shovel:  http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-shovel/file/default/README

It might require a bit more thought about your specific application to clinch 
the decision between Federation and Shovel.

Best regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for answer my email promptly.
Yes, you're correct. That is exactly what I try to do.

Is there any example or document I can follow?
Thanks.

Yican
