Hey Becket,

Sorry I misunderstood your example. I thought you mean requests from
different controller are re-ordered.

I think you have provided a very good example and it should be safer to
still use two queues. Let me clarify the example a bit more below.

- If the controller has received response for R1 before it is disconnected
from the broker, it will send a new request R2 after it is re-connected to
the broker. There is no issue in this case because R1 will be processed
before R2.

- If the controller has not received response for R1 before it is
disconnected, it will re-send R1 followed by R2 after it is re-connected to
the broker. With high probability the order of processing should be R1, R1
and R2. This is because we have multiple request handler threads and the
first two R1 will typically both be processed before R2. With low
probability the order of processing will be R1, R2, R1, which can
potentially be a problem.

Thanks,
Dong
