• Keep Long Live Consumer or Producer healthy

     Most messaging system suggest keep reusing the constructed connection and reduce the significant overhead as you can. But many of them hadn't given us the solution how to keep the connection or other underlying dependent object healthy, so if you didn't take care of that you would find many unexpected behavior happen. So solution could be the following two:

• Reactive Mode

                You are sure the connection or other underlying depend object unhealthy in sometime, so you will regular check each connection or underlying depend object usages. After one connection or underlying depend object is not used from a while, you can reload or reinitialize that connection.

                Benefit:  It can meet the connection healthy requirement and no need big moving for your infrastructure

                Drawback: The point for reloading or reinitilization was hard to decide. And almost failed in many cases

• Proactive Mode

                Many messaging system are building upon the traditional TCP/IP, so that means the underlying was one tcp (socket) connection. So keep the connection or underlying depend object for messaging system would transfter to keep tcp (socket) connection healthy. So here you can use heartbeat methodology.

                Benefit: It can fullfil the healthy requirement and meet many situations.

                Drawback: Big moving for your infrasturcture

      So the goal for many messaging system in the future is reduce the overhead for create connection or underlying depend object, and provide the configurable way or transparently keep the connection or underlying depend object healthy fullfil the requirement for the long live (or large scalable messaging driven system)
