问题
I want to build a RabbitMQ system which is able to scale out for the sake of performance.
I've gone through the official document of RabbitMQ Clustering. However, its clustering doesn't seem to support scalability. That's because only through master queue we can publish/consume, even though the master queue is reachable from any node of a cluster. Other than the node on which a master queue resides, we can't process any publish/consume.
Why do we cluster then?
回答1:
Why do we cluster then?
- To ensure availability.
- To enforce data replication.
- To spread the load/data accross queues on different nodes. Master queues can be stored on different node and replicated with a factor < number of cluster nodes.
Other than the node on which a master queue resides, we can't process any publish/consume.
Client can be connected on any node of the cluster. This node will transfer 'the request' to the master queue node and vice versa. As a downside it will generate extra hop.
回答2:
Answer to the question in the title Is RabbitMQ Clustering including scalability too? - yes it does, this is achieved by simply adding more nodes/removing some nodes to/from the cluster. Of course you have to consider high availability - that is queue and exchange mirroring etc.
And just to make something clear regarding:
However, its clustering doesn't seem to support scalability. That's because only through master queue we can publish/consume, even though the master queue is reachable from any node of a cluster.
Publishing is done to exchange, queues have nothing to with publishing. A publishing client publishes only to an exchange and a routing key. It doesn't need any knowledge about the queue.
