Subject: network of brokers, message owned by a single broker?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Hello,

I want to build a 'highly available' system and am now wandering why a
message is owned by a single broker in a "Store and Forward Network of
Brokers", as when a broker dies the messages it owns will be lost (until
broker restart when using persistence)? This seems a strange choice, why
have ownership of a message anyway? Alternatively brokers could forward
messages to other interested brokers in the network in parallel without any
broker owning the message. This way messages are never lost when a single
broker dies, and messages are delivered more quickly.

Can anyone shed some light on why a message is owned by a single broker at
any point in time?

Thank you for your time,
Bas Terwijn
