Overview

## Channels in RabbitMQ

To quote AMQP 0.9.1 specification:

AMQP 0.9.1 is a multi-channelled protocol. Channels provide a way to multiplex a heavyweight TCP/IP connection into several light weight connections. This makes the protocol more “firewall friendly” since port usage is predictable. It also means that traffic shaping and other network QoS features can be easily employed. Channels are independent of each other and can perform different functions simultaneously with other channels, the available bandwidth being shared between the concurrent activities.

## Opening Channels

Channels can be opened either via ‘MarchHare::Session#create_channel` (sufficient in the majority of cases) or by instantiating `MarchHare::Channel` directly:

This will automatically allocate a channel id.

## Closing Channels

Channels are closed via #close. Channels that get a channel-level exception are closed, too. Closed channels can no longer be used. Attempts to use them will raise ChannelAlreadyClosed.

## Higher-level API

MarchHare offers two sets of methods on Channel: known as higher-level and lower-level APIs, respectively. Higher-level API mimics amqp gem API where exchanges and queues are objects (instance of Exchange and Queue, respectively). Lower-level API is built around AMQP 0.9.1 methods (commands), where queues and exchanges are passed as strings (à la RabbitMQ Java client, Langohr and Pika).

### Queue Operations In Higher-level API

  • #queue is used to declare queues. The rest of the API is in Queue.

### Exchange Operations In Higher-level API

## Channel Qos (Prefetch Level)

It is possible to control how many messages at most a consumer will be given (before it acknowledges or rejects previously consumed ones). This setting is per channel and controlled via #prefetch.

## Channel IDs

Channels are identified by their ids which are integers. MarchHare takes care of allocating and releasing them as channels are opened and closed. It is almost never necessary to specify channel ids explicitly.

There is a limit on the maximum number of channels per connection, usually 65536. Note that allocating channels is very cheap on both client and server so having tens, hundreds or even thousands of channels is possible.

## Channels and Error Handling

Channel-level exceptions are more common than connection-level ones and often indicate issues applications can recover from (such as consuming from or trying to delete a queue that does not exist).

With MarchHare, channel-level exceptions are raised as Ruby exceptions, for example, NotFound, that provide access to the underlying ‘channel.close` method information.

Examples:

conn = MarchHare.new
conn.start

ch   = conn.create_channel

ch  = conn.create_channel
ch.close

Handling 404 NOT_FOUND

begin
  ch.queue_delete("queue_that_should_not_exist#{rand}")
rescue MarchHare::NotFound => e
  puts "Channel-level exception! Code: #{e.channel_close.reply_code}, message: #{e.channel_close.reply_text}"
end

Handling 406 PRECONDITION_FAILED

begin
  ch2 = conn.create_channel
  q   = "rubymarchhare.examples.recovery.q#{rand}"

  ch2.queue_declare(q, :durable => false)
  ch2.queue_declare(q, :durable => true)
rescue MarchHare::PreconditionFailed => e
  puts "Channel-level exception! Code: #{e.channel_close.reply_code}, message: #{e.channel_close.reply_text}"
ensure
  conn.create_channel.queue_delete(q)
end
