Hi,

The OpenStack high availability guide seems to be a bit ambiguous about
whether RabbitMQ should be configured active/standby or
active/active...both methods are described.

Has anyone tried using active/active with mirrored queues as recommended
by the RabbitMQ developers?  If so, what problems did you run into?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

We do Active/Active RabbitMQ with mirrored queues and Precise/Havana.
We faced a lot of failover problems where clients weren't figuring out
that their connections were dead.  The TCP keepalives mentioned in the
following bug seemed to help a lot.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/856764  The moral of our story is
to make sure you are monitoring the sanity of your agents.

We had client-side issues on failovers as well. Keepalives seemed to help, but we also ported the following patch to all the applicable clients (since they're not using oslo.messaging yet).
