QueueingConsumers currently cannot be recovered: on shutdown,
they modify their internal state in a way that marks them as "done".
Think of them as Iterators which have a logical end.

You have two options:

 * Use a "regular" consumer (recommended)
 * Add a recovery listener and re-create the queueing consumer

Automatic connection recovery simply re-adds the consumer(s) you previously
had, without knowing anything about their implementation and if they can "self terminate"
like the QueueingConsumer does.
