I"m trying to understand the concept behind the network of brokers in ActiveMQ. What I understand from the documentation is that by having a network or broker we can get load balancing. I would assume that load balancing would mean that the messages are sent to either one of the brokers (Master or a Slave) depending on the processing capability which is internal to ActiveMQ.
But when I use a shared file system, the Master acquired the lock and the Slave waits indefinitely to acquire the lock. The Slave does not also start its transport connectors. So with this being the case, how could a network of brokers offer load balancing? When the Slave does not even have its transport connectors started, how could the Master load balance the messages that it gets? I somehow do not understand the idea behind it. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-Network-of-Brokers-tp4655435.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
