Description of problem: As you add and remove replicated queues within an HA broker, bridges are opened and closed for each queue. Closing a bridge immediately re-adds the associated channel number into an available pool. As a result, when the old bridge (channel X) is closed it sends a "detach" command to the broker and the new bridge (assigned the same channel X) sends an "attach" command. The broker will eventually respond with a "detached" command which was meant for the original bridge on channel X. Unfortunately, the new bridge on channel X handles this detached command from the broker and flags the bridge as detached. This process can then repeat for several cycles until it break out of the detach/attach/detached race. In addition to the detach/attach/detached race, the immediate re-use of channel numbers appears to create other issues like the following: Nov 2 11:26:40 itcm31 qpidd[12122]: 2012-11-02 11:26:40 [Protocol] error Execution exception: invalid-argument: anonymous.qpid.bridge_session_qpid.replicator-Queue1.b64c23e6-cb01-4297-8935-c12b40 804ae2_84209514-2e58-4fb9-8d37-7c2440f5f144: confirmed < (2+0) but only sent < (0+0) (qpid/SessionState.cpp:154) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Qpid 0.18-6 How reproducible: Frequently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Rapidly create and delete replicated queues Actual results: Detach/attach/detached loops and other channel errors are seen in the logs. This issue stops HA replication which stops message flow through the broker. Expected results: Channel errors are not encountered Additional info:
