Kenny MacLeod commented on JBMESSAGING-1230:
--------------------------------------------

Can I also suggest that the scope of the problem be widened to the case where both nodes are shut down, leaving unprocessed messages in the database, and then only one node is restarted.  Currently, this leaves the other node's messages orphaned until that node is restarted, but in some cases that node may never be restarted - in the case of a hardware failure, for example.

Some kind of orphan reclaimation task would seem advisable?

> If one node of a cluster fails in someway, the client will attempt to failover transparently.  However, if one node is shutdown cleanly, the client will not automatically failover to another node in the cluster.  This functionality would be very useful for "rolling upgrades" where a portion of the cluster is left up while the other nodes are being updated.
