Apparently I did have a different definition in mind: I was interpreting "redistribution" as "redelivery", which would happen when a transaction was rolled back or a client disconnected with unacknowledged messages. Clearly that's not what Artemis means by that term, and what's meant is clearly not that. I'm not aware of much difference in ActiveMQ between how a broker sends messages when a client is connected and how it sends them when a client connects later (and ActiveMQ supports both scenarios seamlessly), so ActiveMQ doesn't highlight a distinction between the two scenarios. Messages sent to an ActiveMQ broker will make their way to an eligible client (including one using a selector) irrespective of whether a selector is in use.
So now I'm curious: in the Artemis codebase, what's different enough about the two scenarios to cause selectors to work in one case but not the other?
