Comment 20 for bug 856764

I have done extensive testing using both Vish's keepalive tuning parameters and Kevin's proposed fix. We've been able to validate that the following occur correctly.

1) A client will reconnect if the server they are actively connected to dies (Vish's tuning).
2) A client will reconnect if the AMQP master for the queue its subscribed too goes away (Kevin's proposed fix).

As the original reporters of this we feel the combination successfully addresses the issue and allows for a complete HA solution at the RPC level with rabbit.

Given the time since the patch was posted to the issue I plan on submitting a review to oslo.messaging with the proposed fix as soon as I have definitively confirmed what version of kombu will be required.

I also think we should open a doc bug to document the tuning parameters Vish has outlined. The default behavior out of the box is fairly poor and the HA story isn't really complete until both things are done.

I'm not entirely sure of the proper procedure for the doc bug so any guidance would be appreciated.
