+# Address Federation
+
+## Introduction 
+
+Address federation is like full multicast over the connected brokers, in that every message sent to address 
+on `Broker-A` will be delivered to every queue on that broker, but like wise will be delivered to `Broker-B` 
+and all attached queues there.
+
+
+Address federation dynamically links to other addresses in upstream brokers. It automatically creates a queue on the remote address for itself, 
+to which then it consumes, copying to the local address, as though they were published directly to it. 
+
+The upstream brokers do not need to be reconfigured or the address, simply permissions to the address need to be 
+given to the address for the downstream broker.
+
+

+Figure 1. Address Federation
+
+
+## Topology Patterns
+
+
+### Symmetric
+
+![Address Federation](images/federation-address-symetric.png)
+Figure 2. Address Federation - Symmetric
+
+As seen above, a publisher and consumer are connected to each broker. 
+Queues and thus consumers on those queues, can receive messages published by either publisher.
+
+It is important in this setup to set `max-hops=1` to so that messages are copied only one and avoid cyclic replication.
+If `max-hops` is not configured correctly, consumers will get multiple copies of the same message.
+
+### Full Mesh
+
+![Address Federation](images/federation-address-complete-graph.png)
+Figure 3. Address Federation - Full Mesh
+
+If not already spotted, the setup is identical to symemtric but simply where all brokers are symmetrically federating each other, creating a full mesh.
+
+As illustrated, a publisher and consumer are connected to each broker. 
+Queues and thus consumers on those queues, can receive messages published by either publisher.
+
+As with symmetric setup, it is important in this setup to set `max-hops=1` to so that messages are copied only one and avoid cyclic replication.
+If `max-hops` is not configured correctly, consumers will get multiple copies of the same message.
+
+
+### Ring
+
+![Address Federation](images/federation-address-ring.png)
+Figure 4. Address Federation - Symmetric
+
+In a ring of brokers each federated address is `upstream` to just one other in the ring. To avoid the cyclic issue, 
+it is important to set `max-hops` to `n - 1` where `n` is the number of nodes in the ring. 
+e.g. in the example above property is set to 5 so that every address in the ring sees the message exactly once.
+
+Whilst this setup is cheap in regards to connections, it is brittle, in that if a single broker fails, the ring fails.
+
+### Fan out
+
+![Address Federation](images/federation-address-fan-out.png)
+Figure 5. Address Federation - Fan Out
+
+One master address (it would required no configuration) is linked to by a tree of downstream federated addresses, 
+the tree can extend to any depth, and can be extended to without needing to re-configure existing brokers. 
+
+In this case messages published to the master address can be received by any consumer connected to any broker in the tree.
+
+
+## Configuring Address Federation
+
+Federation is configured in `broker.xml`.
+
+Sample Address Federation setup:
+
+
+```
+<federations>
+    <federation name="eu-north-1" user="federation_username" password="32a10275cf4ab4e9">
+        <upstream name="eu-east-1">
+           <static-connectors>
+              <connector-ref>eu-east-connector1</connector-ref>
+              <connector-ref>eu-east-connector1</connector-ref>
+           </static-connectors>
+           <policy ref="news-address-federation"/>
+        </upstream>
+        <upstream name="eu-west-1" >
+           <static-connectors>
+              <connector-ref>eu-west-connector1</connector-ref>
+              <connector-ref>eu-west-connector1</connector-ref>
+           </static-connectors>
+           <policy ref="news-address-federation"/>
+        </upstream>
+        
+        <address-policy name="news-address-federation" max-hops="1" auto-delete="true" auto-delete-delay="300000" auto-delete-message-count="-1" transformer-ref="federation-transformer-3">
+           <include address-match="queue.bbc.new" />
+           <include address-match="queue.usatoday" />
+           <include address-match="queue.news.#" />
+        
+           <exclude address-match="queue.news.sport.#" />
+        </address-policy>
+        
+        <transformer name="news-transformer">
+           <class-name>org.foo.NewsTransformer</class-name>
+           <property key="key1" value="value1"/>
+           <property key="key2" value="value2"/>
+        </transformer>
+    </federation>
+</federations>
+
+```
+
+In the above setup downstream broker `eu-north-1` is configured to connect to two upstream brokers `eu-east-1` and `eu-east-2`, the credentials used for both connections to both brokers in this sample are shared, you can set user and password at the upstream level should they be different per upstream.
+
+Both upstreams are configured with the same address-policy `news-address-federation`, that is selecting addresses which match any of the include criteria, but will exclude anything that starts `queue.news.sport`.
+
+**It is important that federation name is globally unique.**
+
+Let's take a look at all the `address-policy` parameters in turn, in order of priority.
+
+- `name` attribute. All address-policies must have a unique name in the server.
+
+- `include` the address-match pattern to whitelist addresses, multiple of these can be set. If none are set all addresses are matched.
+
+- `exclude` the address-match pattern to blacklist addresses, multiple of these can be set.
+
+- `max-hops`. The number of hops that a message can have made for it to be federated, see [Topology Patterns](#topology-patterns) above for more details.
+
+- `auto-delete`. For address federation, the downstream dynamically creates a durable queue on the upstream address. This is used to mark if the upstream queue should be deleted once downstream disconnects, 
+and the delay and message count params have been met. This is useful if you want to automate the clean up, though you may wish to disable this if you want messages to queued for the downstream when disconnect no matter what.
+
+- `auto-delete-delay`. The amount of time in milliseconds after the downstream broker has disconnected before the upstream queue can be eligable for `auto-delete`.
+
+- `auto-delete-message-count`. The amount number messages in the upstream queue that the message count must be equal or below before the downstream broker has disconnected before the upstream queue can be eligable for `auto-delete`.
+
+- `transformer-ref`. The ref name for a transformer (see transformer config) that you may wish to configure to transform the message on federation transfer.
+
+**note** `address-policy`'s and `queue-policy`'s are able to be defined in the same federation, and be linked to the same upstream.
+
+
+Now look at all the `transformer` parameters in turn, in order of priority:
+
+- `name` attribute. This must be a unique name in the server, and is used to ref the transformer in `address-policy` and `queue-policy`
+
+- `transformer-class-name`. An optional transformer-class-name can be
+  specified. This is the name of a user-defined class which implements the
+  `org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.transformer.Transformer` interface.
+
+  If this is specified then the transformer's `transform()` method will be
+  invoked with the message before it is transferred. This gives you the opportunity
+  to transform the message's header or body before it is federated.
+  
+- `property` holds key, value pairs that can be used to configure the transformer.
+
+
+
+Finally look at `upstream`, this is what defines the upstream broker connection and the policies to use against it.
+
+- `name` attribute. This must be a unique name in the server, and is used to ref the transformer in `address-policy` and `queue-policy`
+
+- `user`. This optional attribute determines the user name to use when creating
+  the upstream connection to the remote server. If it is not specified the shared
+  federation user and password will be used if set.
+
+- `password`. This optional attribute determines the password to use when
+  creating the upstream connection to the remote server. If it is not specified the shared
+  federation user and password will be used if set.
+
+- `static-connectors` or `discovery-group-ref`. Pick either of these options to
+  connect the bridge to the target server.
+
+  The `static-connectors` is a list of `connector-ref` elements pointing to
+  `connector` elements defined elsewhere. A *connector* encapsulates knowledge of
+  what transport to use (TCP, SSL, HTTP etc) as well as the server connection
+  parameters (host, port etc). For more information about what connectors are and
+  how to configure them, please see [Configuring the
+  Transport](configuring-transports.md).
+
+  The `discovery-group-ref` element has one attribute - `discovery-group-name`.
+  This attribute points to a `discovery-group` defined elsewhere. For more
+  information about what discovery-groups are and how to configure them, please
+  see [Discovery Groups](clusters.md).
+
+
+- `ha`. This optional parameter determines whether or not this bridge should
+  support high availability. True means it will connect to any available server
+  in a cluster and support failover. The default value is `false`.
+  
+- `circuit-breaker-timeout` in milliseconds, When a connection issue occurs, 
+as the single connection is shared by many federated queue and address consumers, 
+to avoid each one trying to reconnect and possibly causing a thrundering heard issue, 
+the first one will try, if unsuccessful the circuit breaker will open, 
+returning the same exception to all, this is the timeout until the circuit can be closed and connection retried.

+# Queue Federation
+
+## Introduction 
+
+This feature provides a way of balancing the load of a single queue across remote brokers.
+ 
+A federated queue links to other queues (called upstream queues). It will retrieve messages from upstream queues in order to satisfy demand for messages from local consumers. 
+The upstream queues do not need to be reconfigured and they do not have to be on the same broker or in the same cluster.
+
+All of the configuration needed to establish the upstream links and the federated queue is in the downstream broker.
+
+
+
+### Use Cases

+This is not an exhaustive list of what you can do with and the benefits of federated queues, but simply some ideas.
+
+* Higher capacity 
+
+  By having a "logical" queue distributed over many brokers. Each broker would declare a federated queue with all the other federated queues upstream. (The links would form a complete bi-directional graph on n queues.)
+
+By having this a logical distributed queue is capable of having a much higher capacity than a single queue on a single broker. 
+When will perform best when there is some degree of locality.
+  
+e.g. as many messages as possible are consumed from the same broker as they were published to, where federation only needs to move messages around in order to perform load balancing.
+
+![Federated Queue](images/federated-queue-symmetric.gif)
+
+
+* Supporting multi region or venue
+
+  In a multi region setup you may have producers in one region or venue and the consumer in another. 
+  typically you want producers and consumer to keep their connections local to the region, in such as case you can deploy brokers in each region where producers and consumer are, and use federation to move messages over the WAN between regions.
+  
+![Federated Queue](images/federated-queue.gif)
+
+
+* Communication between the secure enterprise lan and the DMZ.
+ 
+   Where a number of producer apps maybe in the DMZ and a number of consumer apps in the secure enterprise lan, it may not suitable to allow the producers to connect through to the broker in the secure enterprise lan. 
+   
+   In this scenario you could deploy a broker in the DMZ where the producers publish to, and then have the broker in the enterprise lan connect out to the DMZ broker and federate the queues so that messages can traverse. 
+   
+   This is similar to supporting multi region or venue.
+
+
+* Migrating between two clusters. 
+    Consumers and publishers can be moved in any order and the messages won't be duplicated (which is the case if you do exchange federation). Instead, messages are transferred to the new cluster when your consumers are there. 
+    Here for such a migration with blue/green or canary moving a number of consumers on the same queue, you may want to set the `priority-adjustment` to 0, or even a positive value, so message would actively flow to the federated queue.
+
+
+## Configuring Queue Federation
+
+Federation is configured in `broker.xml`.
+
+Sample Queue Federation setup:
+
+
+```
+<federations>
+    <federation name="eu-north-1" user="federation_username" password="32a10275cf4ab4e9">
+        <upstream name="eu-east-1">
+           <static-connectors>
+              <connector-ref>eu-east-connector1</connector-ref>
+              <connector-ref>eu-east-connector1</connector-ref>
+           </static-connectors>
+           <policy ref="news-queue-federation"/>
+        </upstream>
+        <upstream name="eu-west-1" >
+           <static-connectors>
+              <connector-ref>eu-west-connector1</connector-ref>
+              <connector-ref>eu-west-connector1</connector-ref>
+           </static-connectors>
+           <policy ref="news-queue-federation"/>
+        </upstream>
+        
+        <queue-policy name="news-queue-federation" priority-adjustment="-5" include-federated="true" transformer-ref="federation-transformer-3">
+           <include queue-match="#" address-match="queue.bbc.new" />
+           <include queue-match="#" address-match="queue.usatoday" />
+           <include queue-match="#" address-match="queue.news.#" />
+        
+           <exclude queue-match="#.local" address-match="#" />
+        </queue-policy>
+        
+        <transformer name="news-transformer">
+           <class-name>org.foo.NewsTransformer</class-name>
+           <property key="key1" value="value1"/>
+           <property key="key2" value="value2"/>
+        </transformer>
+    </federation>
+</federations>
+
+```
+
+In the above setup downstream broker `eu-north-1` is configured to connect to two upstream brokers `eu-east-1` and `eu-east-2`, the credentials used for both connections to both brokers in this sample are shared, you can set user and password at the upstream level should they be different per upstream.
+
+Both upstreams are configured with the same queue-policy `news-queue-federation`, that is selecting addresses which match any of the include criteria, but will exclude any queues that end with `.local`, keeping these as local queues only.
+
+**It is important that federation name is globally unique.**
+
+
+Let's take a look at all the `queue-policy` parameters in turn, in order of priority.
+
+- `name` attribute. All address-policies must have a unique name in the server.
+
+- `include` the address-match pattern to whitelist addresses, multiple of these can be set. If none are set all addresses are matched.
+
+- `exclude` the address-match pattern to blacklist addresses, multiple of these can be set.
+
+- `priority-adjustment` when a consumer attaches its priority is used to make the upstream consumer, 
+but with an adjustment by default -1, so that local consumers get load balanced first over remote, this enables this to be configurable should it be wanted/needed. 
+
+- `include-federated` by default this is false, we dont federate a federated consumer, this is to avoid issue, where in symmetric or any closed loop setup you could end up when no "real" consumers attached with messages flowing round and round endlessly. 
+
+    There is though a valid case that if you dont have a close loop setup e.g. three brokers in a chain (A->B->C) with producer at broker A and consumer at C, you would want broker B to re-federate the consumer onto A.
+
+- `transformer-ref`. The ref name for a transformer (see transformer config) that you may wish to configure to transform the message on federation transfer.
+
+**note** `address-policy`'s and `queue-policy`'s are able to be defined in the same federation, and be linked to the same upstream.
+
+
+Now look at all the `transformer` parameters in turn, in order of priority:
+
+- `name` attribute. This must be a unique name in the server, and is used to ref the transformer in `address-policy` and `queue-policy`
+
+- `transformer-class-name`. An optional transformer-class-name can be
+  specified. This is the name of a user-defined class which implements the
+  `org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.transformer.Transformer` interface.
+
+  If this is specified then the transformer's `transform()` method will be
+  invoked with the message before it is transferred. This gives you the opportunity
+  to transform the message's header or body before it is federated.
+  
+- `property` holds key, value pairs that can be used to configure the transformer.
+
+
+
+Finally look at `upstream`, this is what defines the upstream broker connection and the policies to use against it.
+
+- `name` attribute. This must be a unique name in the server, and is used to ref the transformer in `address-policy` and `queue-policy`
+
+- `user`. This optional attribute determines the user name to use when creating
+  the upstream connection to the remote server. If it is not specified the shared
+  federation user and password will be used if set.
+
+- `password`. This optional attribute determines the password to use when
+  creating the upstream connection to the remote server. If it is not specified the shared
+  federation user and password will be used if set.
+
+- `static-connectors` or `discovery-group-ref`. Pick either of these options to
+  connect the bridge to the target server.
+
+  The `static-connectors` is a list of `connector-ref` elements pointing to
+  `connector` elements defined elsewhere. A *connector* encapsulates knowledge of
+  what transport to use (TCP, SSL, HTTP etc) as well as the server connection
+  parameters (host, port etc). For more information about what connectors are and
+  how to configure them, please see [Configuring the
+  Transport](configuring-transports.md).
+
+  The `discovery-group-ref` element has one attribute - `discovery-group-name`.
+  This attribute points to a `discovery-group` defined elsewhere. For more
+  information about what discovery-groups are and how to configure them, please
+  see [Discovery Groups](clusters.md).
+
+
+- `ha`. This optional parameter determines whether or not this bridge should
+  support high availability. True means it will connect to any available server
+  in a cluster and support failover. The default value is `false`.
+  
+- `circuit-breaker-timeout` in milliseconds, When a connection issue occurs, 
+as the single connection is shared by many federated queue and address consumers, 
+to avoid each one trying to reconnect and possibly causing a thrundering heard issue, 
+the first one will try, if unsuccessful the circuit breaker will open, 
+returning the same exception to all, this is the timeout until the circuit can be closed and connection retried.

+# Federation
+
+## Introduction 
+
+Federation allows transmission of messages between brokers without requiring clustering. 
+
+A federated address can replicate messages published from an upstream address to a local address. 
+n.b. This is only supported with multicast addresses.
+
+A federated queue lets a local consumer receive messages from an upstream queue.
+
+A broker can contain federated and local-only components - you don't need to federate everything if you don't want to. 
+
+
+### Benefits
+
+##### WAN 
+
+The source and target servers do not have to be in the same cluster which makes
+federation suitable for reliably sending messages from one cluster to another,
+for instance across a WAN, between cloud regions or there internet and where the 
+connection may be unreliable.
+
+Federation has built in resilience to failure so if the target server
+connection is lost, e.g. due to network failure, federation will retry
+connecting to the target until it comes back online. When it comes back online
+it will resume operation as normal.
+
+##### Loose Coupling of Brokers
+
+Federation can transmit messages between brokers (or clusters) in different administrative domains:
+* they may have different configuration, users and setup;
+* they may run on different versions of ActiveMQ Artemis
+
+##### Dynamic and Selective
+
+Federation is applied by policies, that match address and queue names, and then apply. 
+
+This means that federation can dynamically be applied as queues or addresses are added and removed, 
+without needing to hard configure each and every one.
+
+Like wise policies are selective, in that they apply with multiple include and exclude matches.
+
+Mutliple policies can applied directly to multiple upstreams, 
+as well policies can be grouped into policy sets and then applied to upstreams to make managing easier.
+
+
+
+
+## Address Federation
+
+Address federation is like full multicast over the connected brokers, in that every message sent to address on `Broker-A` will be delivered to every queue on that broker, but like wise will be delivered to `Broker-B` and all attached queues there.
+
+![Address Federation](images/federation-address.png)
+Figure 1. Address Federation
+
+For further details please goto [Address Federation](federation-address.md).
+
+
+
+
+## Queue Federation
+
+Effectively, all federated queues act as a single logical queue, with multiple receivers on multiple machines. 
+So federated queues can be used for load balancing. Typically if the brokers are in the same AZ you would look to cluster them, the advantage of queue federation is that it does not require clustering so is suitable for over WAN, cross-region, on-off prem.

+
+For further details please goto [Queue Federation](federation-queue.md).
+
+
+## WAN Full Mesh
+
+With federation it is possible to provide a WAN mesh of brokers, replicating with Address Federation or routing and load balancing with Queue Federation. 
+
+Linking producers and consumers distant from each other.
+
+![WAN Full Mesh](images/federated-world-wide-mesh.png)
+Figure 3. Example possible full federation mesh
+
+
+
+## Configuring Federation
+
+Federation is configured in `broker.xml`.
+
+Sample:
+
+```xml
+<federations>
+    <federation name="eu-north-1-federation">
+        <upstream name="eu-west-1" user="westuser" password="32a10275cf4ab4e9">
+           <static-connectors>
+              <connector-ref>connector1</connector-ref>
+           </static-connectors>
+           <policy ref="policySetA"/>
+        </upstream>
+        <upstream name="eu-east-1" user="eastuser" password="32a10275cf4ab4e9">
+           <discovery-group-ref discovery-group-name="ue-west-dg"/>
+           <policy ref="policySetA"/>
+        </upstream>
+        
+        <policy-set name="policySetA">
+           <policy ref="address-federation" />
+           <policy ref="queue-federation" />
+        </policy-set>
+        
+        <queue-policy name="queue-federation" >
+           <exclude queue-match="federated_queue" address-match="#" />
+        </queue-policy>
+
+        <address-policy name="address-federation" >
+           <include address-match="federated_address" />
+        </address-policy>
+    </federation>
+</federations>
+```
+
+In the above example we have shown the basic key parameters needed to configure
+federation for a queue and address to multiple upstream. 
+
+The example shows a broker `eu-north-1` connecting to two upstream brokers `eu-east-1` and `eu-west-1`, 
+and applying queue federation to queue `federated_queue` , and also applying address federation to `federated_address`.
+
+**It is important that federation name is globally unique.**
+
+There are many configuration options that you can apply these are detailed in the individual docs for [Address Federation](federation-address.md) and   [Queue Federation](federation-queue.md).

+# Federated Address Example
+
+To run the example, simply type **mvn verify** from this directory, or **mvn -PnoServer verify** if you want to start and create the broker manually.
+
+This example demonstrates a core multicast address deployed on three different brokers. The three brokers are configured to form a federated address mesh.
+
+In the example we name the brokers, eu-west, eu-east and us-central to give an idea of the use case.
+
+![EU West, EU East and US Central Diagram](eu-west-east-us-central.png)
+
+The following is then carried out:
+
+1. create a consumer on the queue on each node, and we create a producer on only one of the nodes.
+
+2. send some messages via the producer on EU West, and we verify that **all** the consumers receive the sent messages, in essence multicasting the messages within and accross brokers.
+
+3. Next then verify the same on US Central.
+
+4. Next then verify the same on EU East.
+
+
+
+In other words, we are showing how with Federated Address, ActiveMQ Artemis **replicates**  sent messages to all addresses and subsequently delivered to all all consumers, regardless if the consumer is local or is on a distant broker. Decoupling the location where producers and consumers need to be.
+
+The config that defines the federation you can see in the broker.xml for each broker is within the following tags. You will note upstreams are different in each as well as the federation name, which has to be globally unique.
+
+```
+ <federations>
+    ...
+ </federations>
+```
+
+
+For more information on ActiveMQ Artemis Federation please see the federation section of the user manual.

+# Federated Queue Example
+
+To run the example, simply type **mvn verify** from this directory, or **mvn -PnoServer verify** if you want to start and create the broker manually.
+
+This example demonstrates a core queue deployed on three different brokers. The three brokers are configured to form a federated queue mesh.
+
+In the example we name the brokers, eu-west, eu-east and us-central to give an idea of the use case.
+
+![EU West, EU East and US Central Diagram](eu-west-east-us-central.png)
+
+The following is then carried out:
+
+1. create a consumer on the queue on each node, and we create a producer on only one of the nodes.
+
+2. send some messages via the producer on EU West, and we verify that **only the local** consumer receives the sent messages.
+
+3. Next then verify the same on US Central.
+
+4. Now the consumer on EU West is closed leaving it no local consumers.
+
+5. Send some more messages to server EU West
+
+6. We now consume those messages on EU East demonstrating that messages will **re-route** to the another broker based on upstream priority. You will note, US Central is configured to be -1 priority compared to EU East, 
+there for messages should re-route to EU East as it will have a slightly higher priority for its consumers to consume.
+If US Central and EU East were even priority then the re-direct would be loaded between the two.
+
+7. Next the consumer on US Central is closed leaving it no local consumers. And we send some more messages to US Cental
+
+8. Again we consume on EU East demonstrating that US Central messages also can **re-route**, if no local-consumer.
+
+9. Now we restart EU West and US Centrals consumers.
+
+10. We produce and consume on US Central, showing that dynamically re-adjusts now local consumers exist and messages delivery by priority to local consumer.
+
+11. And repeat the same on EU West.
+
+
+In other words, we are showing how with Federated Queues, ActiveMQ Artemis **routes**  sent messages to local consumers as priority, but is able to re-route the sent messages to other distant brokers if consumers are attached to those brokers. Decoupling the location where producers and consumers need to be.
+
+Here's the relevant snippet from the broker configuration, which tells the broker to form a cluster between the two nodes and to load balance the messages between the nodes.
+
+The config that defines the federation you can see in the broker.xml for each broker is within the following tags. You will note upstreams are different in each as well as the federation name, which has to be globally unique.
+
+```
+ <federations>
+    ...
+ </federations>
+```
+
+
+For more information on ActiveMQ Artemis Federation please see the federation section of the user manual.
