Hi folks,
i used the forum's search function and found some similar threads but now i
am more confused than before.....:-)
Imagine the following situation:
- some producers which all send messages to the same broker
- this broker acts only as a load-balancer
- between 2 clusters of brokers (each cluster consisting of 2 brokers with
shared memory)
- some consumers getting messages from the clusters
To illustrate this (i know i really suck at ascii-art.....):
producer
\
__________ cluster_1 --> consumer
\_______ /
_______ loadbalancer (single broker) \
/
\_________
producer /
cluster_2 --> consumer
What I have so far:
- The producers and consumers
- the 2 clusters
- the single broker in the middle, but without load-balancing
functionalities
So i simply connected the single broker to the cluster using a
networkConnector with an URI-list containing the 2 cluster-URIs.
Now i got two questions:
1. Is there a way to tell the single broker in the middle to act as a
load-balancer?
2. Is there a way to check if this really works, meaning that the
message-load is evenly distributed among the clusters?
Thx for any help guys....
P.S. If one responsible for the amq-documentation reads this:
The mentioned example in the documentation:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/trunk/activemq-core/src/test/resources/org/apache/activemq/broker/ft/slave2.xml
is slightly wrong, instead of
<broker brokerName="slave" useJmx="false" deleteAllMessagesOnStartup="true">
it should be
<broker brokerName="slave" useJmx="false" deleteAllMessagesOnStartup="true"
xmlns="http://activemq.org/config/1.0";>
Can be pretty confusing if you are a newbie and try the example only to
receive strange error messages....:-)
