I have a fanout exchange and distributed queues. If the sentTime exceeds two minutes, I want message to come to the consumer. If it doesn't exceed two minutes, I want to hold the message in the queue.
I tried filtering as below but if the filter is not valid the message is consumed. Is there a way to bypass this on masstransit?
MassTransit Filtering messages a consumer can handle
I would like to say that each queue has a multiple consumer. Can you help me?
Thanks.
If you need to delay the delivery of a message to a consumer, you can use the delayed message delivery feature of the transport to schedule it for two minutes in the future. MassTransit also supports scheduling messages via Quartz.NET or Hangfire if that makes more sense.

After reading documentation about what is Rabbit and what does, I have some common questions:
Case is: Producer sends one message to some consumers (subscribers).
I need a short explanation for all points of list below, what to use, and what to dig further.
How to clear queue and stop sending message to consumers after
specific time/date?
Can I include to confirmed message user's data like JSON?
Where is stored this data? In the same queue?
How to filter confirmed messages and then clear queue?

What happens if not one consumer no confirms message, how long they are stored?
Does consumer subscribe on queue or can subscribe on exchange too?
Using model one to many for sending message, how to set who have to

Thank you in advance and any comment to this question!
If you can elaborate some of your questions and include what is your use case, I can edit the answer.
1 - As long as consumer is alive rabbitmq sends incoming messages to consumer. You can give TTL to messages/queues if you want them to expire after some time.
https://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html
2 - What you mean?
3 - Rabbitmq stores the data in mnesia database.
https://www.rabbitmq.com/persistence-conf.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/relocate.html
4 - What you mean by filterig messages and clear queue? Successfully consumed messages removed from the queue immediatly.
5 - You can give ttl to queue or declare queue as auto delete
https://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/queues.html
6 - If consumers don't send ack to rabbit, messages stays unack as long as memory becomes full or rabbit becomes unavailable
7 - Both. A consumer can create its own queue and bind it to an exchange or it can consume from existing queue. It depends on the use case.
8 - It is hard to answer this without knowing details of what you mean by one-to-many. Direct exchange or fanout or whatelse, how many queues etc.
But, in rabbitmq, messages ordered by publish order by default.
According to link you shared, rabbitmq sends messages first to higher priority consumers until consumer prefetch count (unack messages on consumer) becomes its limits.
9 - You need to handle this case in the code. Or you can use management ui with Shovel plugin.

10 - Again, it depends on the design and use case.
If I have two queues from which I want to consume messages, and I use a single SimpleMessageQueueListenerContainer for it, in which order would the listeners be invoked/messages consumed when both queues have messages?
I will try to be more specific of the problem I am working on:
I have a consumer application which needs to consume messages from 2 queues – say regular-jobs-queue and infrequent-jobs-queue. If there are any messages in ‘infrequent-jobs-queue’ I want to consume those before consuming messages from ‘regular-jobs-queue’. I might not be able to combine these and put all messages into a single rabbitmq level priority queue and assign higher priority to infrequent-job message because of some upcoming use-cases like purging regular-jobs without affecting infrequent-jobs and others.
I am aware that RabbitMQ has support for consumer priority but I am not very sure if it will be applicable here. I want all instances of my consumer application to first consume messages of infrequent-jobs-queue if any and not prioritize amongst these consumers.
Or should I like have 2 containers, with dedicated consumer thread(s) per queue and have an internal priority-queue data structure into which I can put messages as and when consumed from rabbitmq queue.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

You can't do what you want; messages will be delivered with equal priority.
Moving them to an internal in-memory queue will risk message loss.
You might want to consider using one of the RabbitTemplate.receive() or receiveAndConvert() methods instead of a message-driven container.
That way you have complete control.
I have a rabbitmq cluster used as a working queue. There are 5 kinds of consumers who want to consume exactly the same data.
What I know for now is using fanout exchange to "copy" the data to 5 DIFFERENT queues. And the 5 consumers can consume different queue. This is kind of wasting resources because the data is the same in file queues.
My question is, does rabbitmq support to push the same data to multi consumers? Just like a message need to be acked for a specified times to be deleted.
I got the following answer from rabbitmq email group. In short, the answer is no... and what I did above is the correct way.

You can consume with 5 consumers from one queue if you do not want to duplicate messages.

In AMQP protocol terms you publish message to exchange and then broker (RabbitMQ) decide what to do with messages - assume it figured out the queue message intended for (one or more) and then put that message on top of that queue (queues in RabbitMQ are classic FIFO queues which is somehow break AMQP implementation in RabbitMQ). Only after that message may be delivered to consumer (or die due to queue length limit or per-queue or per-message ttl, if any).
message need to be acked for a specified times to be deleted
There are no way to change message body or attributes after message being published (actually, Dead Letter Exchanges extension and some other may change routing key, for example and add,remove and change some headers, but this is very specific case). So if you want to track ack's number you have to re-publish consumed message with changed body or header (depends on where do you plan to store ack's counter, but headers fits pretty nice for this.
Also note, that there are redeliverd message attribute which denotes whether message was already was consumed, but then redelivered. This flag doesn't count redelivers number so it usage is quite limited.
I am starting with ActiveMQ and I have a usecase. i have n producers sending messages into a Queue Q1. I want to stop the delivery of messages (i.e. i do not want consumers to consume those messages). I want to store the messages for sometime without those being consumed.
I was looking at ways this can be achieved. These two things came into my mind based on what i browsed through.
Using Mirrored queues, so that I can wiretap the messages and save into a virtual queue.
Possibly stop consumers from doing a PULL on the queue.
Another dirty way of doing this is by making consumers not send ack messages once its consumed a message from the queue.
We are currently not happy with either of these.
Any other way you can suggest.
Thanks in advance.
If you always want message delivery to be delayed you can use the scheduler feature of ActiveMQ to delay delivery until a set time or a fixed delay etc.
Other strategies might also work but it really up to you to design something that fits your use case. You can try to use Apache Camel to define a route that implements the logic of your use case to either dispatch a message to a Queue or send it to the scheduler for delayed processing. It all really depends on your use case and requirements.
I have two questions about RabbitMQ Work Queues:
As I understand it from the RabbitMQ tutorials, it seems that if I have a basic queue consumer client (just a basic "Hello, World!" consumer) and then I add a second consumer client for the same queue, then RabbitMQ will automatically dispatch the messages between those two queues in a round robin manner. Is that true (without adding in any extra configuration)?
My consumer clients are configured to only ever receive one message at a time, using (GetResponse response = channel.basicGet("my_queue", false). Since I am only ever receiving one message at a time, is it still necessary to set a prefetchCount (channel.basicQos(1)) for fair dispatch?
Answers to your questions:
Yes
No
However, your two questions 1 and 2 are not compatible. If you are using a consumer, it is designed to have messages pushed to it, and you don't use Basic.Get. When you use a consumer, you will need to use Basic.QoS to specify that the consumer can only "own" one unacknowledged message at a time. RabbitMQ will not push additional messages beyond the QoS limit.
Your alternative is to "pull" from the queue using Basic.Get, and you will control your own destiny as far as how many messages you run at a time.
Does this make sense?
