Is exclusive-consumer supported in quorum queues?

[rahultaneja1534]

I asked this question on Stackoverflow and while exploring I figured that when I move the queue type from quorum to classic, the consumer is registered exclusively which I wanted, but would like to clarify if it's also supported in quorum queues. If yes, what else I need to do apart from Consume call with exclusive=true to make it work? If not, is there a plan to support it?
Single Active Consumer may not work in our use-case.

Have you tried it? https://www.rabbitmq.com/consumers.html#exclusivity

[rahultaneja1534]

Yes and that's only working when I have classic queues, however I would like to use quorum queues where it registers all the consumers as exclusive and delivers messages in round-robin fashion which is behavior of non-exclusive consumers. Please check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73381937/how-to-properly-register-rabbitmq-exclusive-consumer where I explained the situation with example in golang

Thanks for pointing out your question on stack overflow. I added your code to a repo here:

It appears that exclusive consumers are not supported with quorum queues:

I'll ask the team about that.

Thanks for checking @lukebakken. Just found the docs too - https://www.rabbitmq.com/quorum-queues.html#feature-matrix
So it's not supported as of now. The only question remains is if there is a plan to support it in the future.

No plans at this time. @michaelklishin responded with:

It's just not used widely enough and semantically conflicts with Single Active Consumer. I would say people should use Single Active Consumer.

Yup, you will mostly likely find that Single Active Consumer would do what you want with the extra redundancy/resiliency.
