[rabbitmq-discuss] Reliability and Publisher Confirms...

[Shadi Mari]

Hello,

Speaking of persistent queues and reliability, I am aware that in order to 
increase rabbitmq reliability level, publisher confirms need to be enabled 
in order to tell exactly when messages are delivered/persisted. However, am 
not sure of how rabbitmq behaves where there are outstanding confirms/acks 
not yet received by the publisher and the connection between the publisher 
and the broker is broken. I am under the assumption that rabbitmq does not 
redeliver the acks when the connection is available again and it discards 
messages with undelivered acks to publisher, Is this assumption correct? In 
case Yes, does this mean i will have to track in memory all outstanding 
publish requests with no confirmations and re-publish them when the 
connection is available? I am afraid this might create a reliability hole.

Thank you,
