Greetings,

We are in the process of transforming our Java-based services into 
Kubernetes-based microservice swarms with HA topology.  So every service will 
have multiple instances.  The good news is, AMQ supports this splendidly, 
because the message broker is very good about load-balancing between consumers 
and handling failed consumers.

However, we have a few cases of “long running tasks” that a single service 
instance is responsible for.  In those cases, we need to be able to route a 
request to a specific consumer instance.  We could use specially-named queues 
for each consumer instance, but this seems awkward and hopefully not necessary.

Is there any kind of “consumer affinity” that can be attached to a message, 
which directs the broker to select a specific consumer?
If not, other ideas are certainly welcome.

We are using OpenJDK 17

This is our maven dependency
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
    <artifactId>artemis-jms-client-all</artifactId>
    <version>2.30.0</version>
</dependency>


Thanks
John
