The Critical Role of Subscription Consistency in Apache RocketMQ
Introduction
A fundamental principle in RocketMQ is subscription consistency, which mandates that every consumer instance within a single consumer group must share an identical subscription configuration for both topics and tags. Violating this principle leads to unpredictable message consumption patterns, logical errors in processing, and pote ...
