whether rabbitmq federation plugin support mqtt messges? - rabbitmq

As title, I'm confused whether rabbitmq federation plugin support both amqp and mqtt.
If mqtt supported, whether addtional configuration needed?

The RabbitMQ team monitors the rabbitmq-users mailing list and only sometimes answers questions on StackOverflow.
Why not try it out and see for yourself?
Since the MQTT adapter is built on top of AMQP, it interoperates with other RabbitMQ plugins (docs). Please carefully read that document to understand how MQTT forward-slashes are translated into what AMQP understands.

RabbitMQ Cluster operator - enabling MQTT plugin

While using https://github.com/rabbitmq/cluster-operator I have a working setup with TLS enabled for AMQP. Now I would need to enable MQTT, however I donot find any example of enabling plugins with this operator.
Can someone help with an example of enabling MQTT over RabbitMQ via the cluster operator?
As mentioned in Rabbit MQ Documentation, in order to enable mqtt plugin, we have to add the corresponding plugin name "rabbitmq_mqtt".

Publish/Subscribe MQTT message over RabbitMQ using pika (python client)

I have existing RabittMQ server set-up and we enabled MQTT plug-in to publish/subscribe mqtt messages.
We have pika client to process the existing queue messages . Right now , we want to use the same pika on_message() handler to process the mqtt message.
I am able to publish and subscribe mqtt message over eclipse paho client . We want to use the existing RabittMQ client(pika).
MQTT plug-in by default publish to amq.topic exchange . I want to publish the same message to my own exchange. Please let me know , how to get this.

If you want a consumer using the Pika library to receive MQTT messages that consumer must subscribe to the appropriate queue to which the MQTT messages are being published. Comprehensive documentation of how MQTT and AMQP can interoperate is available here.
You then say "I want to publish the same message to my own exchange". If you wish to use your own exchange instead of amq.topic, please see the "Custom Exchanges" section of this document. You must specify the name of the exchange in the rabbitmq.config file and create the exchange prior to publishing any messages. Note that this custom exchange must be a topic exchange.
The RabbitMQ documentation is a good resource and I suggest searching there when you have questions.

Conversion from MQTT to AMQP/STOMP

I'm kind of new to these protocols, and just started exploring Message brokers like Apache Apollo and RabbitMQ.
So my broker receives MQTT messages from a publisher. And I would like to convert it into AMQP (preferably) or STOMP protocol to send to a web server. But I've so far been unable to do so.
I looked into RabbitMQ, and tried enabling the MQTT plugin, but when I do load it, I'm unable to start the server.
I was wondering if anyone can guide me here? Is there an API that can help me? And I'm very confused about RabbitMQ. I've been able to load other plugins easily,like stomp, management utilities etc.
I'm 100% sure it is doable. I am doing it right now with robomq.io broker. One cause could be sometimes bugs in your client library restrict you doing so.
Another thing you should be aware of is that internally, RabbitMQ MQTT adapter is mapped into amq.topic exchange by default, so on your STOMP peer, you should subscribe or send to /topic/yourTopic; on your AMQP peer, bind your queue to amq.topic exchange or publish to that exchange.
Follow this example code and documentation to build your client.
If you can't figure out your server, just get a free trial from robomq.io. It saves you time and money.
The development tool I am using is robomq.io broker, producers in Python (AMQP library: pika, MQTT library: paho, STOMP library: stompest), consumer in Node.js (library: amqplib).
Hope it helps!
Well, I'm not sure if this question should be taken down. But if it has to be I leave it to the discretion of the moderators and the stackOverflow community in general.
btw, I use Ubuntu 14.04.
About the RabbitMQ broker
So Mosquitto was running un the background occupying the port 1883 normally used for MQTT. I could have changed the port for RabbitMQ, but decided against it and tried to kill the Mosquitto process. But for some reason, I could NOT.
For now, my quick fix was removing Mosquitto completely and this freed the port, enabling RabbitMQ to use it.
About the protocols
I've used Paho and the RabbitMQ libraries provided to code out simple programs that can publish and receive messages in AMQP/MQTT via the RabbitMQ broker.
(My Googling needs to be better!)
Still haven't converted one to the other. But that shouldn't be too big a step to achieve.
Still would be nice to know if there's an API or something that can help me achieve the conversion in a very simple manner. Of course, if there's not, I'll figure it out ASAP
Any suggestions/comments are heartily welcome. I'm brand new to all this and could really use advice from all you seasoned pros :)

RabbitMQ, is it possible to publish via one protocol and consume via another?

RabbitMQ supports multiple protocols, AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, ....
When using PHP for example, it's easier to publish using the STOMP library since the PHP AMQP libraries requires compiled C code and is somewhat of a mission to setup if you don't have to.
On the JAVA side, apache camel with AMQP on spring is pretty straight forward.
Is it possible to setup a queue, publish to it via STOMP and then consume via AMQP and then again publish via AMQP and consume via STOMP if the message broker is RabbitMQ?
Yes, this should work, given that you have installed RabbitMQ's STOMP plugin on your RabbitMQ node(s).
The protocol only defines the communication between client and server and has no impact on a message itself.
You should note that using protocols other than AMQP will most likely come along with limitations and/or worse performance.
There also exist native PHP libraries for RabbitMQ that don't require compiling C code. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which one is the best, because I am a Java guy ;-).

How to use RabbitMQ broker in Java application

How to use RabbitMQ message broker in Java application? I have not found any document or link to understand how to do it.
There's plenty or RabbitMQ documentation.
In particular, you may be interested in the Java client API guide and the javadocs.
