Single Active Consumer Example

This example demonstrates how to use the Single Active Consumer pattern to ensure that only one consumer processes messages from a stream at a time.

Run the example

1. Start the producer:

go run producer.go

The producer will start sending messages to the stream. It is voluntary slow to make the example easy. You should see the following output:

go run producer/producer.go
Producer for Single Active Consumer example
Connecting to RabbitMQ streaming ...
[08:16:20] sending message hello_world_0 ...
[08:16:20] message [hello_world_0] stored
[08:16:23] sending message hello_world_1 ...
[08:16:23] message [hello_world_1] stored
[08:16:26] sending message hello_world_2 ...
[08:16:26] message [hello_world_2] stored
[08:16:29] sending message hello_world_3 ...
[08:16:29] message [hello_world_3] stored
[08:16:32] sending message hello_world_4 ...
[08:16:32] message [hello_world_4] stored
[08:16:35] sending message hello_world_5 ...
[08:16:35] message [hello_world_5] stored
[08:16:38] sending message hello_world_6 ...
[08:16:38] message [hello_world_6] stored

1. Start the consumer: In a new terminal, run the consumer:

go run single_active_consumer.go myFirstConsumer

You should see the following output:

 [08:16:56] - [ myFirstConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_12], message offset 20,
 [08:16:59] - [ myFirstConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_13], message offset 22,
 [08:17:02] - [ myFirstConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_14], message offset 24,

 [08:17:11] - [ myFirstConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_17], message offset 30,

1. Start a second consumer: In a new terminal, run the consumer:

go run single_active_consumer.go mySecondConsumer

You should see the following output:

Press any key to stop

1. Stop the first consumer:

In the first terminal, press any key to stop the first consumer.
The second consumer should be promoted to active status and restart processing messages from the last stored offset.

You should see:

[08:17:11] - Consumer promoted. Active status: true
 [08:17:14] - [ mySecondConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_18], message offset 32,
 [08:17:17] - [ mySecondConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_19], message offset 34,

 [08:17:23] - [ mySecondConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_21], message offset 38,
 [08:17:26] - [ mySecondConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_22], message offset 40,
 [08:17:29] - [ mySecondConsumer ] - consumer name: MyApplication, data: [hello_world_23], message offset 42,
