What are the differences between choosing to use clustering to implement the solution vs. using ha-replication of individual queues in a non-clustered setup? >From what I've read so far it seems that with clustering my work would be a >lot easier as the broker/resource manager combination would take care of >failover while with non-clustered I'd have to take care of a bunch of things >in my code -- designating master, detecting failure (which might take longer), >failover (including finding and connecting to the new master). On the other hand it seems that without clustering, I could pick different masters for different queues (instead of having cluster resource manager designate a specific host as master for all of its queues) which would be one way of spreading the load of handling client connections. I could also have different operating systems hosting replicas of the same queue (I haven't found a cluster resource manager that runs on both Windows and Linux). I'm also wondering about geographic site mirroring and failover. We have 2 sites connected by a WAN. The same services are available at both locations. Normally a request received at one location would be processed there (and sending it to the other site for processing would be more "expensive" as would queue mirroring to the other site). But there might be situations where one entire site goes down -- if that were to happen it might be good to have the other site detect and finish processing any in-flight messages from the down site. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@qpid.apache.org
