Contributed by Ry Biesemeyer (Elastic).

Ruby Logger Support

March Hare can now use a Ruby logger via the :logger option, which will also integrate with the Java client's ExceptionHandler implementations.

GitHub issues: ruby-amqp/march_hare#35, ruby-amqp/march_hare#136

Contributed by Andreas Eger.

Changes Between 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 (Feb 18th, 2018)

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to the final version of 4.4.2.

TLS/SSL (when certificate path and password is provided)

When a TLS/SSL certificate path and password is provided for a PKCS12 keystore, those certificates from that keystore will now also be used (by default) for the TLS/SSL trust instead of the NullTrustManager.

options[:trust_manager] is now available to be set when certificate path and password are provided for a PKCS12 keystore.

TLS/SSL 3.0.0 behavior when certificate path and password are provided for a PKCS12 keystore can be retained by setting options[:trust_manager] = com.rabbitmq.client.NullTrustManager.new.

Contributed by Jake Landis (Elastic).

Improved Timeout Handling When Connecting

j.u.c.TimeoutException is now handled better during connection initiation: more details will be provided to the user.

Contributed by Per Lundberg.

Changes Between 2.22.0 and 3.0.0 (February 20th, 2017)

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

Changes Between 2.21.0 and 2.22.0 (January 14th, 2017)

Convert Long Protocol Strings to java.lang.String

GitHub issue: #109

Contributed by Andrew Cholakian.

Changes Between 2.20.0 and 2.21.0 (November 24th, 2016)

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to the final version of 3.6.6.

Changes Between 2.19.0 and 2.20.0 (November 2nd, 2016)

Connection Recovery Should Retry on Protocol Handshake Timeout

When an intermediary such as HAproxy with no backends online (or a problematic server node) doesn't respond to a protocol header sent to it, RabbitMQ Java client will throw a generic operation timeout exception because the heartbeat mechanism is not yet enabled (it has not yet negotiated a timeout value for it!)

March Hare should handle this exception and retry, as if it was an I/O or skipped heartbeats exception.

Kudos to Andrew Cholakian and Jordan Sissel for digging this issue out.

GitHub issues: #107, logstash-plugins/logstash-input-rabbitmq#76

Contributed by Noah Magram.

Changes Between 2.10.0 and 2.11.0

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.5.4.

Changes Between 2.9.0 and 2.10.0

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.5.3.

Header Keys Stringified

Header keys are now automatically stringified so it's possible to use symbols as keys.

Changes Between 2.8.0 and 2.9.0

TLS Connection Fixes

TLS connections with an explicitly provided TLS version and PKCS12 certificate no longer fail. In addition, related connection have changed to

  • :tls (version as a string: TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2)
  • :tls_certificate_path: PKCS12 certificate path as a string
  • :tls_certificate_password: PKCS12 certificate password as a string

To quickly generate a PKCS12 certificate as well as CA and server certificate/key pair, see tls-gen.

URI Connections Fix

Host selector no longer breaks connections that use URIs.

GH issue: #73.

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.5.1.

Changes Between 2.7.0 and 2.8.0

Support P12 Certificates for TLS Connections

It is now possible to use P12 certificates with the Bunny-like connection options:

  • :tls_key_cert (a PCS12 file path)
  • :certificate_password (as a Ruby string)

Contributed by Simon Yu.

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.4.3.

Host List Selection Improvements

Host selection from the list is now randomised.

Contributed by Michael Ries.

Support for Consumer Callbacks with Arity < 0

Callbacks with arity < 0 now can be used delivery handlers. See Method#arity documentation for more info.

Contributed by Roman Lishtaba.

Changes Between 2.5.0 and 2.7.0

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.4.0.

Host Lists

It is now possible to pass the :hosts option to MarchHare.connect. When connection to RabbitMQ (including during connection recovery), a random host will be chosen from the list.

Better Bunny Compatibility: the Heartbeat Option

MarchHare.connect now accepts :heartbeat as an alias for :heartbeat_requested for better Bunny compatibility (and because API reference accidentally listed it).

GH issue: #57.

Changes Between 2.4.0 and 2.5.0

Bugfixes

  • Consumers are now properly unregistered from their owning channel during recovery (#52)
  • Sessions in recovery are no longer reported active until recovery has fully completed (#55)
  • Error 320 (connection-forced) is now properly handled (#53)
  • Fixed a race condition that could cause subscriptions utilizing manual acks to fail immediately after recovery (#54)

Contributed by Chris Heald.

Changes Between 2.3.x and 2.4.0

MarchHare::Exchange#publish Options Bunny Compatibility

MarchHare::Exchange#publish now accepts property options the same way as Bunny does (the old way with the :properties option is still supported). This improves March Hare and Bunny API compatibility.

The new way:

exchange.publish(payload,
                 :app_id      => "marchhare.tests",
                 :persistent  => true,
                 :priority    => 8,
                 :type        => "kinda.checkin",
                 # headers table keys can be anything
                 :headers     => {
                   "coordinates" => {
                     "latitude"  => 59.35,
                     "longitude" => 18.066667
                   },
                   "time"         => @now,
                   "participants" => 11,
                   "venue"        => "Stockholm",
                   "true_field"   => true,
                   "false_field"  => false,
                   "nil_field"    => nil,
                   "ary_field"    => ["one", 2.0, 3, [{ "abc" => 123 }]]
                 },
                 :timestamp        => @now,
                 :reply_to         => "a.sender",
                 :correlation_id   => "r-1",
                 :message_id       => "m-1",
                 :content_type     => "application/octet-stream",
                 # just an example. MK.
                 :content_encoding => "zip/zap",
                 :routing_key    => "marchhare.key")

The old way:

                 :properties => {
                   :app_id      => "marchhare.tests",
                   :persistent  => true,
                   :priority    => 8,

Changes Between 2.2.x and 2.3.0

Custom Exception Handler Support

March Hare now provides a way to define a custom (unexpected) exception handler RabbitMQ Java client will use:

class ExceptionHandler < com.rabbitmq.client.impl.DefaultExceptionHandler
  include com.rabbitmq.client.ExceptionHandler

  def handleConsumerException(ch, ex, consumer, tag, method_name)
    # ...
  end
end

MarchHare.connect(:exception_handler => ExceptionHandler.new)

An exception handler is an object that conforms to the com.rabbitmq.client.ExceptionHandler interface.

Custom Thread Factories Support

Certain environments (e.g. Google App Engine) restrict thread modification. RabbitMQ Java client 3.3 can use a custom factory in those environments.

March Hare now exposes this functionality to Ruby in a straightforward way:

java_import com.google.appengine.api.ThreadManager

MarchHare.connect(:thread_factory => ThreadManager.background_thread_factory)

A thread factory is an object that conforms to the j.u.c.ThreadFactory interface:

class ThreadFactory
  include java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory

  def newThread(runnable)
    # e.g. java.lang.Thread.new(runnable)
  end
end

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.3.4.

Changes Between 2.1.x and 2.2.0

IOExceptions Conversion Fix

Causeless IOExceptions and SocketExceptions thrown by the Java client are correctly converted to IOError in Ruby land.

Client-side Flow Control Removed

MarchHare::Channel#channel_flow is removed. Client-side flow control has been deprecated for some time and is now removed in the Java client.

Confirm Hooks Recovery

Confirm hooks (callbacks) are now recovered automatically.

Contributed by Noah Magram.

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

RabbitMQ Java client dependency has been updated to 3.3.x.

Internal Exchanges

Exchanges now can be declared as internal:

ch = conn.create_channel
x  = ch.fanout("marchhare.tests.exchanges.internal", :internal => true)

Internal exchanges cannot be published to by clients and are solely used for Exchange-to-Exchange bindings and various plugins but apps may still need to bind them. Now it is possible to do so with March Hare.

Custom Executor Shutdown

MarchHare::Session#close now will always shut down the custom executor service it was using, if any.

Ruby 1.8 Support Dropped

March Hare no longer officially supports Ruby 1.8.

Changes Between 2.0.x and 2.1.0

Full Channel State Recovery

Channel recovery now involves recovery of publisher confirms and transaction modes.

Changes Between 1.5.0 and 2.0.0

March Hare (previously Hot Bunnies) 2.0 has breaking API changes.

New Name

March Hare is the new project name. The previous name had a sexist meaning (unintentionally) and changing it was long overdue.

exchange.unbind Support

MarchHare::Exchange#unbind is now provided to compliment MarchHare::Exchange#bind.

Safe[r] basic.ack, basic.nack and basic.reject implementation

Previously if a channel was recovered (reopened) by automatic connection recovery before a message was acknowledged or rejected, it would cause any operation on the channel that uses delivery tags to fail and cause the channel to be closed.

To avoid this issue, every channel keeps a counter of how many times it has been reopened and marks delivery tags with them. Using a stale tag to ack or reject a message will produce no method sent to RabbitMQ. Note that unacknowledged messages will be requeued by RabbitMQ when connection goes down anyway.

This involves an API change: MarchHare::Headers#delivery_tag is now and instance of a class that responds to #to_i and is accepted by MarchHare::Channel#ack and related methods.

Integers are still accepted by the same methods.

Consumer Work Pool Changes

MarchHare 1.x used to maintain a separate executor (thread pool) per non-blocking consumer. This is not optimal and reimplements the wheel RabbitMQ Java client already has invented: it dispatches consumer methods in a thread pool maintained by every connection.

Instead of maintaining its own executor, MarchHare now relies on the Java client to do the job. The key difference is that 1.x versions used to maintain a thread pool per channel while 2.x has a thread pool per connection.

It is still possible to override the executor when opening a connection by providing an executor factory (any Ruby callable):

MarchHare.connect(:executor_factory => Proc.new {
  MarchHare::ThreadPools.fixed_of_size(16)
})

There is a shortcut that accepts a thread pool size and takes care of the rest:

MarchHare.connect(:thread_pool_size => 16)

It has to be a factory to make sure we can allocate a new pool upon connection recovery, since JVM executors cannot be cloned or restarted.

By default MarchHare will rely on the default RabbitMQ Java client's executor service, which has a fixed size of 5 threads.

Automatic Connection Recovery

MarchHare now supports automatic connection recovery from a network outage, similar to the version in Bunny.

It recovers

  • Connections
  • Shutdown hooks
  • Channels
  • Exchanges, queues and bindings declared on the connection
  • Consumers

and can be disabled by setting :automatically_recover connection option to false.

Shutdown Callbacks

MarchHare::Session#on_shutdown and MarchHare::Channel#on_shutdown are two new methods that register shutdown hooks. Those are executed when

  • Network connectivity to RabbitMQ is lost
  • RabbitMQ shuts down the connection (because of an error or management UI action)

The callbacks take two arguments: the entity that's being shutdown (MarchHare::Session or MarchHare::Channel) and shutdown reason (an exception):

conn = MarchHare.connect
conn.on_shutdown |conn, reason|
  # ...
end

In addition, MarchHare channels will make sure consumers are gracefully shutdown (thread pools stopped, blocking consumers unblocked).

These are initial steps towards easier to use error handling and recovery, similar to what amqp gem and Bunny 0.9+ provide.

MarchHare::Channel#on_confirm

MarchHare::Channel#on_confirm provides a way to define publisher confirms callbacks. Note that it's typically more convenient to use MarchHare::Channel#wait_for_confirms to wait for all outdated confirms.

connection.blocked, connection.unblocked Support

MarchHare::Session#on_blocked and MarchHare::Session#on_unblocked are new methods that provide a way to define blocked connection notifications callbacks:

connection.on_blocked do |reason|
  puts "I am blocked now. Reason: #{reason}"
end

connection.on_unblocked do
  puts "I am unblocked now."
end

Authentication Failure Notifications Support

MarchHare now supports authentication failure notifications (new in RabbitMQ 3.2).

MarchHare::Session#start

MarchHare::Session#start is a new no-op method that improves API compatibility with Bunny 0.9.

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe_with, MarchHare::Queue#build_consumer

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe_with and MarchHare::Queue#build_consumer are new method that allow using consumer objects, for example, to first instantiate a blocking consumer and pass the reference around so it can be cancelled from a different thread later.

consumer_object  = q.build_consumer(:blocking => false) do |metadata, payload|
  # ...
end
consumer         = q.subscribe_with(consumer_object, :blocking => false)

Consumer Cancellation Support

Passing a block for the :on_cancellation option to MarchHare::Queue#subscribe lets you support RabbitMQ consumer cancellation. The block should take 3 arguments: a channel, a consumer and a consumer tag.

MarchHare Operations Now Raise Ruby Exceptions

MarchHare used to expose RabbitMQ Java client's channel implementation directly to Ruby code. This means that whenever an exception was raised, it was a Java exception (commonly java.io.IOException, wrapping a shutdown signal).

Not only this severely violates the Principle of Least Surprise, it also makes it much harder to inspect the exception and figure out how to get relevant information from it without reading the RabbitMQ Java client source.

Hot Bunnies 2.0+ provides a Ruby implementation of MarchHare::Channel which rescues Java exceptions and turns them into Ruby exceptions.

For example, handling a queue.bind failure now can be demonstrated with the following straightforward test:

context "when the exchange does not exist" do
  it "raises an exception" do
    ch = connection.create_channel
    q  = ch.queue("", :auto_delete => true)

    raised = nil
    begin
      q.bind("asyd8a9d98sa73t78hd9as^&&(&@#(*^")
    rescue MarchHare::NotFound => e
      raised = e
    end

    raised.channel_close.reply_text.should =~ /no exchange/
  end
end

MarchHare Ruby exceptions follow AMQP 0.9.1 exception code names:

  • MarchHare::NotFound
  • MarchHare::PreconditionFailed
  • MarchHare::ResourceLocked
  • MarchHare::AccessRefused

or have otherwise meaningful names that follow Bunny names closely:

  • MarchHare::PossibleAuthenticationFailureError
  • MarchHare::ChannelAlreadyClosed

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe Now Returns a Consumer

This is a breaking API change

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe now returns a consumer (a MarchHare::Consumer instance) that can be cancelled and contains a consumer tag.

MarchHare::Subscription was eliminated as redundant. All the same methods are now available on MarchHare::Consumer subclasses.

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe Uses :block => false By Default

This is a breaking API change

MarchHare::Queue#subscribe now uses :block => false by default, thus not blocking the caller. This reduces the need to use explicitly started threads for consumers.

This is also how Bunny 0.9 works and we've seen this default to be a better idea.

More Convenient Way of Creating Thread Pools

MarchHare allows you to pass your own thread pool to MarchHare::Queue#subscribe via the :executor option. Choosing the right thread pool size can make a huge difference in throughput for applications that use non-blocking consumers.

Previously to 2.0, MarchHare required using Java interop and being familiar with JDK executors API to instantiate them.

MarchHare 2.0 introduces MarchHare::ThreadPools that has convenience methods that make it easier:

# fixed size thread pool of size 1
MarchHare::ThreadPools.single_threaded
# fixed size thread pool of size 16
MarchHare::ThreadPools.fixed_of_size(16)
# dynamically growing thread pool, will allocate new threads
# as needed
MarchHare::ThreadPools.dynamically_growing

# in context
subscribe(:blocking => false, :executor => MarchHare::ThreadPools.single_threaded) do |metadata, payload|
 # ...
end

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

March Hare now uses RabbitMQ Java client 3.2.

Queue Predicates

MarchHare::Queue now provides several predicate methods:

  • #server_named?
  • #auto_delete?
  • #durable?
  • #exclusive?

for better Bunny 0.9+ compatibility.

Changes Between 1.4.0 and 1.5.0

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

Hot Bunnies now uses RabbitMQ Java client 3.0.x.

Changes Between 1.3.0 and 1.4.0

RabbitMQ Java Client Upgrade

Hot Bunnies now uses RabbitMQ Java client 2.8.7.

TLS Support

MarchHare.connect now supports a new :tls option:

HotBunnies.connect(:tls => true)

HotBunnies.connect(:tls => "SSLv3")
HotBunnies.connect(:tls => "SSLv2")

HotBunnies.connect(:tls => "SSLv3", :trust_manager => custom_trust_manager)

Consumer Back Pressure Improvements

  • The async consumer will not attempt to add tasks when its executor is shutting down.

  • The blocking consumer got a buffer size option that makes it create a bounded blocking queue instead of an unbounded.

Consumer Improvements

HotBunnies::Queue#subscribe is now more resilient to exceptions and uses a new executor task for each delivery. When a consumer is cancelled, any remaining messages will be delivered instead of being ignored.
