[rabbitmq-discuss] consumption of messages of a HA clustered disc queue

Fri Dec 6 09:16:45 GMT 2013

"In normal operation, for each mirrored-queue, there is one master and 
several slaves, each on a different node. The slaves apply the 
operations that occur to the master in exactly the same order as the 
master and thus maintain the same state. All actions other than 
publishes go only to the master, and the master then broadcasts the 
effect of the actions to the slaves. Thus clients consuming from a 
mirrored queue are in fact consuming from the master."

So no, clients cannot accidentally consume the same message from 
different nodes.

Cheers, Simon
