hi there, it's easy to load balance a queue's consumers -- by starting multiple consumer threads (in the same or different processes). but how to do this for a subscriber.
let me explain what I mean with a use case like this: a message is published to a topic, where there are two subscribers, each of which does something different. let's say one subscriber's message processing rate is slower than the message arrival rate. it's natural to start multiple of them to distribute the load. but you cannot start another identical instance of the subscriber because that would cause the same message to be processed twice. i can think of one solution where i create another queue and forward all the messages from the topic to the queue. then we can start as many consumers on that queue as we want to. this requires management of this "forwarder". (you need to make sure it's always up, etc.) is there a better or more "out-of-box" approach? thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/load-balance-topic-consumer-tf3139637.html#a8702320 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
