Stop consuming messages

Open sroze opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Hello there! Is there a way (a signal to send?) to say to the consumer to finish consuming the message and then stop? This would be needed to gracefully update the worker

Thanks!

Hi @sroze

Unfortunately there is not in the current version. I'm just restarting consumers with supervisor on a rather busy queue and haven't experienced any loss of messages so far in the last 2 years. But I can't disagree a graceful restart would be much better. If you're willing to contribute this I'll be happy to merge it.

So do I need to kill the server process to stop consuming then ?
