[rabbitmq-discuss] Phantom consumers

[Sam Morrison]

Hi,

We've got 2 3 node rabbit clusters, one using 3.1.3 and one using 3.3.0. We 
mirror all queues.

Every so often we get queues filling up in the unacked counters. When we 
investigate we see the queue has 2 consumers both from the same client 
address.
One consumer links back to a connection that doesn't exist on the client or 
the server.

If we stop the client one of the consumers goes away but we are still left 
with a phantom one.

The only way we have been able to fix this is by deleting the queue and 
restarting the client.

While it is in this state the client doesn't get any messages.

This happens with both our clusters.

Anyone else seeing this or know what the issue is?

Thanks,
Sam
