Repeatable message streams for message queues in distributed systems

摘要

Techniques for propagating messages in a distributed system are provided. A set of messages enqueued in a source queue are sent to one or more destination queues. An acknowledgement is received from each of the one or more destination queues, where the acknowledgement indicates which messages of the set of messages have been consumed at the particular destination queue. Based on the acknowledgements, one or more messages of the set messages are ceased to be maintained in the source queue.
