> Hi,
>
> I'm using rabbitmq in one of my project and according to the requirements
> there can be messages with different priorities (regular, high and urgent).
> I know with rabbitmq we can't assign priority at message level, so I
> started
> to create different queues for different priority messages. I've multiple
> consumers which consume those messages from the queues and before consuming
> a message each consumer checks if there is/are message(s) in higher
> priority
> queue ? then it stops current queue and start to consume messages from
> higher priority queue. Till here everything works fine ..but, one thing
> which is killing my system is the slow performance by the consumer. I'm
> also
> aware that, this is because my consumer is checking higher priority queues
> before consuming every message.
>
> Just wanted to know has anyone ever came across same problem ? if yes then
> what would be the possible solution.
>
> Moreover, I'm using basic.get method which also slowing consumer
> performance. I wanted to switch to basic.consume method but with that I can
> never get to know if the queue is empty or not. Is there any way to know if
> queue is empty or not (in basic.consume). ?
