Dropwizard RabbitMQ

Why doesn't this exist already...

Rabbitmq configuration, metrics, health-checks and lifecycle management integrated with dropwizard, focused on common use cases. Inspired by dropwizard-core and dropwizard-extra.

Simple Usage

Easy to use, but if initial connection fails no retry will be performed.

final ExecutorService deliveryExecutor = environment.lifecycle()
    .executorService("index-consumer-delivery-thread-pool")
    .maxThreads(configuration.getNumIndexingThreads())
    .build();
final Connection connection = configuration.getRabbitMq()
    .build(environment, deliveryExecutor, "index-consumer");

//give connection to some consumer/publisher

Better Usage

Will retry the initial connection, asynchronously calling the callback when it succeeds. The RabbitMQ connection class has reconnect/topology recreate features which are turned on by default in this library, which is why we only need to retry initial connect.

final ExecutorService deliveryExecutor = environment.lifecycle()
    .executorService("index-consumer-delivery-thread-pool")
    .maxThreads(configuration.getNumIndexingThreads())
    .build();

//this::connected is a callback
configuration.getRabbitMq()
    .buildRetryInitialConnect(environment, deliveryExecutor, "index-consumer", this::connected);
