So even if heartbeat isn't set, the client can still failover to another broker after some default timeout?
Don't quite understand how could broker release resources based on heartbeat, isn't heartbeat used by client to detect the outage of a broker? Does broker also listen a heartbeat sent by client? A more important question to me is, will two qpid-tool conflict while each monitoring the same queue name on one broker of the cluster? -----Original Message----- From: Carl Trieloff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 November 2009 16:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: An ill borker brings down the whole cluster The main reason for setting heartbeat is to fail the client from one node of the cluster to another faster + have the broker 'release' any resources fro re-use associated with that session, for example 'exclusive' queues. In connection settings: uint16_t heartbeat; /** * The maximum number of channels that the client will request for * use on this connection. */ http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/1.1/html/MRG_Messaging_Qpid_C++_API_Reference/a00037.html or http://qpid.apache.org/docs/api/cpp/html/a00226.html Carl.
