Queues in a cluster have master and, optionally, 1 or more mirrors. The node
on which the queue was declared is its master. Queue operations are routed to master
by other nodes.

To spread the load between cluster
nodes, distributed client connections between them so that clients connect
to masters of the queues they work with. This reduces intra-cluster communication
and, in turn, throughput .
