Message queue receive filter predicate
I am interested to develop and contribute message queue predicate for filtering messages.
The use case is multiple consumers only some of which would be qualified/interested in consuming certain types of messages. Currently, I simulate this by requeueing the messages until it reaches the right consumer. This is obvious subefficient.
I wonder if there's any pre-existing notion of such functionality – and whether it would be of interest.
@igaztanaga Hi Ion, pinging to see if there would be interest in such functionality?
Reviewing old bugs. The feature seems interesting but it seems to me that it could not work with current message_queue philosophy (priority-based recepcion). Apart from the interface change, an efficient implementation probably would require a different implementation. Do you have something in mind to solve these issues?
