[rabbitmq-discuss] Exclusive queue with no connections still alive & locked

[Simon MacMullen]

The queue can take a while to delete itself, especially if it contains 
lots of persistent messages. But the connection goes away immediately. I 
think that's what you're seeing.

In particular the combination "Exclusive Owner: unknown" and "Status: 
Active" makes some sense, as the queue can still be working. You should 
never see the combination "Exclusive Owner: unknown" and "Status: Idle".

Cheers, Simon
