[rabbitmq-discuss] Questions on consumerTags and basicConsume

[Mark Petrovic]

Hello.

- Is a consumer tag a token that should be unique on a per call basis to Java basic.Consume()?  And what exactly is a consumer tag good for?  

- I've seen some evidence that basic.Consume() does not block in the absence of messages to consume.  Is that to be expected?

Thank you.
