<h1>Message Redistribution Example</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This example demonstrates message redistribution between queues with the same name deployed in different
|
|
nodes of a cluster.</p>
|
|
<p>As demontrated in the clustered queue example, if queues with the same name are deployed on different nodes of
|
|
a cluster, ActiveMQ can be configured to load balance messages between the nodes on the server side.</p>
|
|
<p>However, if the consumer(s) on a particular node are closed, then messages in the queue at that node can
|
|
appear to be stranded, since they have no local consumers.</p>
|
|
<p>If this is undesirable, ActiveMQ can be configured to <b>redistribute</b> messages from the node
|
|
with no consumers, to nodes where there are consumers. If the consumers have JMS selectors set on them, then they
|
|
will only be redistributed to nodes with consumers whose selectors match.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, message redistribution is disabled, but can be enabled by specifying some AddressSettings configuration
|
|
in either <code>activemq-queues.xml</code> or <code>activemq-configuration.xml</code></p>
|
|
<p>Setting <code>redistribution-delay</code> to <code>0</code> will cause redistribution to occur immediately
|
|
once there are no more matching consumers on a particular queue instance. Setting it to a positive value > 0 specifies
|
|
a delay in milliseconds before attempting to redistribute. The delay is useful in the case that another consumer is
|
|
likely to be created on the queue, to avoid unnecessary redistribution.</p>
|
|
<p>Here's the relevant snippet from the <code>activemq-queues.xml</code> configuration, which tells the server
|
|
to use a redistribution delay of <code>0</code> on any jms queues, i.e. any queues whose name starts with
|
|
<code>jms.</code></p>
|
|

|

<address-setting match="jms.#">

<redistribution-delay>0</redistribution-delay>

</code>

|
