As you say, it's the "result store". As far as task queues go, they typically
have a database for a result store. That is separate from the messaging layer.

RabbitMQ is the messaging layer. It's not a data layer.

If a bad record won't index, then you fail the job. That still has nothing to
do with the messaging layer. 

Once you fail the job and record that in the result store, you ack the message
to tell the messaging layer that you've handled that message. 

In terms of re-queuing, Koha doesn't really support that at the moment, since
there is no task scheduler. You can't re-queue for 5 minutes later to see if
the network has stabilized. That would be future functionality.

Can you refer to that recommendation specifically? I'm not sure what you mean.
