A few things to RabbitMQ Cluster

• Classic Queues 預設只會在 Cluster 其中一個 node，而訊息仍可以透過其他 node 發送或接收；如果 Queues 要抄寫至所有 nodes，必須設定為 Quorum Queues。
• Cluster 裡每一個 node 都是視為一個 peer，彼此都是相同的，沒有主次的分別。
• Cluster 的每個 node 之間使用 cookie 認證方式，cookie 檔路徑是 /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie 。
• 一個 Cluster 組成 的 Node 數量，應該為奇數，例如 3、5、7等。原因是這樣的個數，才能在有 node 中斷服務時，讓 Cluster 有多數決的識別並形成共識。
• Cluster 的網路架構必須是 LAN，而不要在 WAN。

實驗節點

1. tpeeaprmq98 (node01)
2. tpeeaprmq981 (node02)
3. tpeeaprmq982 (node03)

/etc/hosts:

10.14.2.51      tpeeaprmq98
10.4.1.33       tpeeaprmq981
10.4.1.34       tpeeaprmq982

安裝 RabbitMQ

所有節點主機須完成 RabbitMQ 主程式安裝。

同步 Cookie 認證檔

scp /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie root@tpeeaprmq981:/var/lib/rabbitmq/
scp /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie root@tpeeaprmq982:/var/lib/rabbitmq/

新增 Cluster

Detach the service of all nodes

建立新的 Cluster 之前，所有 node 必須先卸載舊的 Cluster。

# On Node01
rabbitmq-server -detached

# On Node02
rabbitmq-server -detached

# On Node03
rabbitmq-server -detached

Creating a Cluster

將 node02 與 node03 加入到 node01。

# On Node02
rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset
rabbitmqctl join_cluster rabbit@tpeeaprmq98
rabbitmqctl start_app

# On Node03
rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset
rabbitmqctl join_cluster rabbit@tpeeaprmq98
rabbitmqctl start_app

加入 cluster 時，出現以下訊息，可以直接忽略。

[root@tpeeaprmq981 ~]# rabbitmqctl join_cluster rabbit@tpeeaprmq98

Node 管理

增加新 Node

# Copy Cookie from one node of the cluster
scp /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie root@<new-node>:/var/lib/rabbitmq/

# Join a new node into the cluster rabbit@tpeeaprmq98
rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset
rabbitmqctl join_cluster <cluster-name>
rabbitmqctl start_app
# Alternatively, you can join it as RAM node by following command
rabbitmqctl join_cluster <cluster-name>  --ram

移除 Node

# 正常卸載 node
# 在要卸載的 node 執行
rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset
rabbitmqctl start_app
rabbitmqctl cluster_status

# 強制移除 node
# 在 Cluster 的其他 node 執行 
rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node <node-name>
