My apologies for not understanding the "re-distribution" feature. Tim's original post said anonymous wrote : ... contains message redistribution with clustered queues. | | This means, if you have a clustered queue over several nodes in a cluster, and consumers on one node are faster than consumers on another node, then messages will be pulled from one node to another transparently to satisfy demand. | I thought this was how a clustered queue worked. That is, a message is put on a "local queue", and the messagePeer sends the message to each of its peers in the cluster. The first available consumer de-queues the message, and it is removed from the other message peers' instance of the clustered queue. What does the message re-distribution feature provide?
