module AMQP
# h2. What are AMQP queues?
#
# Queues store and forward messages to consumers. They similar to mailboxes in SMTP.
# Messages flow from producing applications to {Exchange exchanges} that route them
# to queues and finally queues deliver them to consumer applications (or consumer
# applications fetch messages as needed).
#
# Note that unlike some other messaging protocols/systems, messages are not delivered directly
# to queues. They are delivered to exchanges that route messages to queues using rules
# knows as *bindings*.
#
#
# h2. Concept of bindings
#
# Binding is an association between a queue and an exchange.
# Queues must be bound to at least one exchange in order to receive messages from publishers.
# Learn more about bindings in {Exchange Exchange class documentation}.
#
#
# h2. Key methods
#
# Key methods of Queue class are
#
# * {Queue#bind}
# * {Queue#subscribe}
# * {Queue#pop}
# * {Queue#delete}
# * {Queue#purge}
# * {Queue#unbind}
#
#
# h2. Queue names. Server-named queues. Predefined queues.
#
# Every queue has a name that identifies it. Queue names often contain several segments separated by a dot (.), similarly to how URI
# path segments are separated by a slash (/), although it may be almost any string, with some limitations (see below).
# Applications may pick queue names or ask broker to generate a name for them. To do so, pass *empty string* as queue name argument.
#
# Here is an example:
#
# @example Declaring a server-named queue using AMQP::Queue constructor
# AMQP.start("amqp://guest:guest@dev.rabbitmq.com:5672/") do |connection, open_ok|
# AMQP::Channel.new do |channel, open_ok|
# AMQP::Queue.new(channel, "", :auto_delete => true) do |queue, declare_ok|
# puts "#{queue.name} is ready to go. AMQP method: #{declare_ok.inspect}"
#
# connection.close {
# EM.stop { exit }
# }
# end
# end
# end
#
#
#
# If you want to declare a queue with a particular name, for example, "images.resize", pass it to Queue class constructor:
#
# @example Declaring a server-named queue using AMQP::Queue constructor
# AMQP.start("amqp://guest:guest@dev.rabbitmq.com:5672/") do |connection, open_ok|
# AMQP::Channel.new do |channel, open_ok|
# AMQP::Queue.new(channel, "images.resize", :auto_delete => true) do |queue, declare_ok|
# puts "#{queue.name} is ready to go."
#
# connection.close {
# EM.stop { exit }
# }
# end
# end
# end
#
#
#
# Queue names starting with 'amq.' are reserved for internal use by the broker. Attempts to declare queue with a name that violates this
# rule will result in AMQP::IncompatibleOptionsError to be thrown (when
# queue is re-declared on the same channel object) or channel-level exception (when originally queue
# was declared on one channel and re-declaration with different attributes happens on another channel).
# Learn more in {file:docs/Queues.textile Queues guide} and {file:docs/ErrorHandling.textile Error Handling guide}.
#
#
#
# h2. Queue life-cycles. When use of server-named queues is optimal and when it isn't.
#
# To quote AMQP 0.9.1 spec, there are two common message queue life-cycles:
#
# * Durable message queues that are shared by many consumers and have an independent existence: i.e. they
# will continue to exist and collect messages whether or not there are consumers to receive them.
# * Temporary message queues that are private to one consumer and are tied to that consumer. When the
# consumer disconnects, the message queue is deleted.
#
# There are some variations on these, such as shared message queues that are deleted when the last of
# many consumers disconnects.
#
# One example of durable message queues is well-known services like event collectors (event loggers).
# They are usually up whether there are services to log anything or not. Other applications know what
# queues they use and can rely on those queues being around all the time, survive broker restarts and
# in general be available should an application in the network need to use them. In this case,
# explicitly named durable queues are optimal and coupling it creates between applications is not
# an issue. Another scenario of a well-known long-lived service is distributed metadata/directory/locking server
# like Apache Zookeeper, Google's Chubby or DNS. Services like this benefit from using well-known, not generated
# queue names, and so do other applications that use them.
#
# Different scenario is in "a cloud settings" when some kind of workers/instances may come online and
# go down basically any time and other applications cannot rely on them being available. Using well-known
# queue names in this case is possible but server-generated, short-lived queues that are bound to
# topic or fanout exchanges to receive relevant messages is a better idea.
#
# Imagine a service that processes an endless stream of events (Twitter is one example). When traffic goes
# up, development operations may spin up additional applications instances in the cloud to handle the load.
# Those new instances want to subscribe to receive messages to process but the rest of the system doesn't
# know anything about them, rely on them being online or try to address them directly: they process events
# from a shared stream and are not different from their peers. In a case like this, there is no reason for
# message consumers to not use queue names generated by the broker.
#
# In general, use of explicitly named or server-named queues depends on messaging pattern your application needs.
# {http://www.eaipatterns.com/ Enterprise Integration Patters} discusses many messaging patterns in depth.
# RabbitMQ FAQ also has a section on {http://www.rabbitmq.com/faq.html#scenarios use cases}.
#
#
# h2. Queue durability and persistence of messages.
#
# AMQP separates concept of durability of entities (queues, exchanges) from messages persistence.
# Queues can be durable or transient. Durable queues survive broker restart, transient queues don't (they
# have to be redeclared when broker comes back online). Long-living queues (see Queue life-cycle section above)
# are usually durable, short-lived queues don't have to be.
#
# The concept of messages persistence is separate: messages may be published as persistent. That makes
# AMQP broker persist them to disk. If the server is restarted, the system ensures that received persistent messages
# are not lost. Simply publishing message to a durable exchange or the fact that queue(s) they are routed to
# is durable doesn't make messages persistent: it all depends on persistence mode of the messages itself.
# Publishing messages as persistent affects performance (just like with data stores, durability comes at a certain cost
# in performance and vise versa). Pass :persistent => true to {Exchange#publish} to publish your message as persistent.
#
# Note that *only durable queues can be bound to durable exchanges*. Learn more in our {file:docs/Durability.textile Durability guide}.
#
#
# h2. Message ordering
#
# RabbitMQ FAQ explains {http://www.rabbitmq.com/faq.html#message-ordering ordering of messages in AMQP queues}
#
#
# h2. Error handling
#
# When channel-level error occurs, queues associated with that channel are reset: internal state and callbacks
# are cleared. Recommended strategy is to open a new channel and re-declare all the entities you need.
# Learn more in {file:docs/ErrorHandling.textile Error Handling guide}.
#
#
# @note Please make sure you read a section on queue durability vs. messages
# persistence.

# Name of this queue
attr_reader :name
# Options this queue object was instantiated with
attr_accessor :opts
# @option opts [Boolean] :passive (false) If set, the server will not create the queue if it does not
# already exist. The client can use this to check whether the queue
# exists without modifying the server state.
#
# @option opts [Boolean] :durable (false) If set when creating a new queue, the queue will be marked as
# durable. Durable queues remain active when a server restarts.
# Non-durable queues (transient queues) are purged if/when a
# server restarts. Note that durable queues do not necessarily
# hold persistent messages, although it does not make sense to
# send persistent messages to a transient queue (though it is
# allowed).
#
# @option opts [Boolean] :exclusive (false) Exclusive queues may only be consumed from by the current connection.
# Setting the 'exclusive' flag always implies 'auto-delete'. Only a
# single consumer is allowed to remove messages from this queue.
# The default is a shared queue. Multiple clients may consume messages
# from this queue.
#
# @option opts [Boolean] :auto_delete (false) If set, the queue is deleted when all consumers have finished
# using it. Last consumer can be cancelled either explicitly or because
# its channel is closed. If there was no consumer ever on the queue, it
# won't be deleted.
#
# @option opts [Boolean] :nowait (true) If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should
# not wait for a reply method. If the server could not complete the
# method it will raise a channel or connection exception.
