I was running a cluster of 3 RabbitMQ servers on 3 servers, all in the same data center, but different racks The page https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html highlights that "RabbitMQ clustering does not tolerate network partitions well". Very true, I had this problem too often. The error recovering is manual and a nightmare. I didn't try the shovel or federation plugins as suggested. Because my needs for queuing were very simple, I decided to build a queue on top of Redis (cluster of 3 servers with redis-sentinel).
