RabbitMQ 4.3.0 is a new feature release.

Breaking Changes and Compatibility Notes

Mnesia and Parition Handling Strategies are Removed

Since only 4.2.x clusters can upgrade to 4.3.0 in place, this won't be a breaking change for nearly all instalations but it will affect community plugins that use Mnesia.

All partition handling-related keys in rabbitmq.conf will be accepted by 4.3.0 nodes but won't have any effect:

• cluster_partition_handling
• cluster_partition_handling.pause_if_all_down.recover
• cluster_partition_handling.pause_if_all_down.nodes.$name

Team RabbitMQ recommends removing the above keys from rabbitmq.conf before or shortly after upgrading.

Deprecated Features are Now Disabled by Default

A number of deprecated features are now disabled by default and require the user to opt-in in order to use them.

This includes non-durable (transient) non-exclusive queues: attempts to declare a queue with such property combination will be rejected by default. Use durable queues, transient exclusive queues, or durable queues with a queue TTL instead.

To explicitly allow transient non-exclusive queues, make sure that all nodes in the cluster include the following rabbitmq.conf key and were restarted so that all nodes have a consistent view of the deprecated feature settings:

# Enables deprecated non-durable (transient) non-exclusive queues
# (disabled by default as of RabbitMQ `4.3.0`, will be removed in a later version).
#
# Must be effective on all cluster nodes BEFORE
# the cluster is upgraded to `4.3.0`.
# If only some nodes have the setting configured, it will not have the desired effect.
deprecated_features.permit.transient_nonexcl_queues = true

If only some nodes have setting configured, it will not have the desired effect.

Classic Queues v1 Storage (CQv1) is Removed

This release removes the original classic queue storage implementation these days known as CQv1. A 2nd generation implementation called CQv2 has been adopted as the default starting with 4.2.0.

This means that attempts to declare a queue using the following optional queue arguments will fail:

• x-queue-mode set to any value
• x-queue-version set to 1

Existing classic queues upgraded to CQv2 during an earlier upgrade to 4.2.x will continue operating as usual.

Consumer Timeouts are No Longer Evaluated for Classic Queues and Streams

This release moves consumer timeout handling responsibility into the queues themselves. Also, all protocols (except for the stream protocol) now evaluate consumer timeout for queue types that support them. Classic queues and streams never evaluate consumer timeouts as their use cases largely avoid the need for such as feature.

Release Highlights

Khepri is Now The Only Metadata Store

As of this release, Khepri is the only metadata store supported by RabbitMQ: Mnesia was removed completely.

In practical operational terms, this means that

1. For a cluster to be available, a majority of nodes must be online at all times
2. Failure and partition recovery in a RabbitMQ cluster is now significantly simpler and uniform: all components that have replicated state (Khepri, quorum queues, streams) recover per Raft recovery semantics

Quorum Queues Enhancements

This release upgrades the Ra dependency to 3.x and introduces a new (8th) version of the quorum queue state machine with several new features and optimisations:

• Strict priority queues with per-priority message counts, correct redelivery ordering, and priority-aware message expiration
• Delayed retry for quorum queues: configurable increasing backoff when messages are returned
• Consumer timeout for quorum queues: configurable timeout for unacknowledged messages, with protocol-specific handling for AMQP 1.0 and MQTT
• Recovery snapshots and snapshot throttling to reduce recovery time and improve snapshotting decisions
• Memory optimisations including compact message references, optimised tuple storage for delayed keys, and removal of rabbit_fifo_index usage

Upgrading to 4.3.0

Documentation Guides on Upgrades

See the Upgrading guide for documentation on upgrades and GitHub releases for release notes of individual releases.

This release series supports upgrades from 4.2.x. Upgrades from earlier series are not supported: users must upgrade to the latest available 4.2.x patch release before upgrading to 4.3.0.

New Required Feature Flags

All feature flags introduced in 4.2.0 and earlier are required, including the following:

• rabbitmq_4.2.0
• rabbitmq_4.1.0
• rabbitmq_4.0.0
• khepri_db
• quorum_queue_non_voters
• message_containers_deaths_v2

Enable all required feature flags before upgrading to 4.3.0.

If your RabbitMQ cluster had plugin rabbitmq_amqp1_0 enabled in RabbitMQ 3.13.x (and your cluster still serves AMQP 1.0 client connections in 4.x), your cluster should do at least one rolling update after enabling feature flag rabbitmq_4.0.0 but before upgrading to 4.3.0.

Deprecated Features

In 4.3.0 the deprecation phase of the following features advanced from permitted_by_default to denied_by_default:

• amqp_address_v1
• amqp_filter_set_bug
• global_qos
• queue_master_locator
• transient_nonexcl_queues

And the deprecated feature ram_node_type has been removed.

Mixed Version Cluster Compatibility

RabbitMQ 4.3.0 nodes can run alongside 4.2.x in the same cluster.

Mixed version clusters are a mechanism that allows rolling upgrades and are not meant to be run for extended periods of time (no more than a few hours).

Recommended Post-upgrade Procedures

This version does not require any additional post-upgrade procedures compared to other versions.

Changes Worth Mentioning

Core Server

Enhancements

• When a message is rejected by a queue, RabbitMQ now provides the queue name and rejection reason to AMQP 1.0 publishers in the Rejected outcome. This is particularly useful when multiple queues are bound to an exchange, as it allows publishers to identify which specific queue out of several target queues rejected the message and why (e.g., maximum queue length reached or queue unavailable). Previously, publishers had no way to determine which queue rejected their message or the reason for rejection.

  The queue name and reason are included in the info field of the Rejected outcome's error field:

  • queue: <queue name>
  • reason: maxlen | unavailable

  GitHub issue: #15075

• Quorum queues now support strict priority queues with per-priority message counts, correct redelivery ordering across priorities, and priority-aware message expiration scans.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now support delayed retry with configurable backoff based on delivery count. When messages are returned (via reject, nack, or modify), they can be held in a delayed state before becoming available again. The delay is based on delivery count: min(min_delay * delivery_count, max_delay).

  Configuration is available via queue arguments (x-delayed-retry-type, x-delayed-retry-min, x-delayed-retry-max) or policy keys (delayed-retry-type, delayed-retry-min, delayed-retry-max). The retry type can be set to disabled, all, failed, or returned.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now support a configurable consumer timeout. When a consumer holds unacknowledged messages beyond the timeout, the messages are returned to the queue. For AMQP 1.0 clients, timed-out deliveries are released via DISPOSITION(state=released) instead of detaching the link, allowing the consumer to recover without re-attaching. MQTT consumers are also supported.

  The timeout can be set via the x-consumer-timeout consumer argument, queue argument, consumer-timeout policy key, or the global consumer_timeout setting in rabbitmq.conf.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• A new consumer_disconnected_timeout setting controls how long quorum queues wait before returning messages when a consumer's node becomes unreachable due to a network partition. The default is 60 seconds. Configurable via consumer_disconnected_timeout in rabbitmq.conf, the consumer-disconnected-timeout policy key, or the x-consumer-disconnected-timeout queue argument.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue recovery snapshots reduce recovery time after a member restart by avoiding the need to replay all enqueue commands from the log.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue snapshot throttling now uses WAL fill ratio and reclaimable byte tracking to make smarter snapshotting decisions, yielding roughly one snapshot per queue per WAL cycle instead of excessive snapshots in shallow, fast-flowing queues.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue memory optimisations: message references now use a compact packed integer representation ("compact" means up to 59-bit) when possible, halving per-message memory overhead in many scenarios. The rabbit_fifo_index module is no longer used by the main state machine.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now allow unlimited explicit message returns. The delivery limit is based on delivery-count rather than acquired-count, so messages can be explicitly returned to the queue without counting towards the delivery limit.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• The x-modulus-hash exchange type, previously provided by the sharding plugin, was moved into the core and reworked to provide stable message routing (distribution) assuming a stable set of bindings, including between node restarts.

  GitHub issue: #15849

• When quorum queue members (replicas) are deleted from a node, either manually via rabbitmq-queues shrink or as part of rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node, the members are stopped in parallel.

  GitHub issue: #15081

• Purging a quorum queue now also removes at-least-once dead-lettered messages that were pending delivery.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• AMQP 0-9-1: when a connection's credentials are refreshed, the permissions cache is now cleared and consumer permissions are re-validated immediately

  GitHub issue: #16092

• Quorum queue delivery limit can now be changed via policy without queue redeclaration

  GitHub issue: #16035

• Khepri topic exchange routing projection (v4): replaced the internal representation with a trie backed by an ordered_set ETS table, significantly improving routing performance for topic exchanges with many bindings

  GitHub issue: #15619

• Quorum queues notify AMQP 1.0 clients of Single Active Consumer state changes

  GitHub issue: #15736

• More rabbitmq.conf keys now accept tagged values (e.g., encrypted:...)

  GitHub issue: #15808

• Startup banner no longer includes the Erlang cookie hash

  GitHub issue: #16087

  GitHub issue: #16085

• Khepri snapshot interval is now configurable in rabbitmq.conf

  GitHub issue: #16011

• Quorum queue Raft settings: additional configuration settings are now exposed in rabbitmq.conf, including maximum segment size

  GitHub issue: #15962

Bug Fixes

• If a quorum queue with a large backlog terminated abnormally, node memory footprint could spike.

  GitHub issue: #15837

• rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node now removes all quorum queue and stream members (replicas) before proceeding to leave the metadata store cluster.

  This order minimizes the risk of some replicas being left behind on the leaving node.

  GitHub issue: #15729

• Quorum queue at-most-once dead lettering for the overflow behaviour drop-head now happens in the correct order.

  GitHub issue: #14926

• Feature flag state in the registry and on disk were not consistent for a period of time during node boot.

• Quorum queues returned an incorrect consumer count in the response to a passive queue.declare operation

  GitHub issue: #16185

• Classic queue shared store could leave stale index entries after segment removal or rollover, causing unnecessary disk space usage

  GitHub issue: #16142

• Bindings targeting Direct Reply-to pseudo-queues are now rejected instead of being silently accepted without any functional effect

  GitHub issue: #15935

• AMQP 1.0 sessions could grant too many credits in certain failure and recovery scenarios

  GitHub issue: #15883

• Quorum queues: acquired-count is now correctly preserved when dead-lettering

  GitHub issue: #16039

• AMQP 1.0: attaching with a link handle already in use on the same session is now rejected with a handle-in-use session error, as required by the specification

  GitHub issue: #16039

• Quorum queues: Single Active Consumer could incorrectly report multiple active consumers in certain timing scenarios

  GitHub issue: #15733

• Quorum queues: consumer timeout could fail to trigger under certain conditions

  GitHub issue: #15805

• The channel limit exceeded error message now correctly identifies the per-user limit as the source of the constraint

  GitHub issue: #15750

Stream Plugin

Bug Fixes

• stream.read_ahead is a new setting that controls how much data is prefetched from disk for stream reads (consumption).

  GitHub issue: #14948

• Stream deletion is now more resilient and can handle certain mid-deletion failure scenarios.

  GitHub issue: #14852

• new_stream coordinator command is now idempotent. Previously, concurrent or retried stream declarations could produce spurious errors even though the stream was created successfully

  GitHub issue: #15706

  GitHub issue: #15074

• HTTP API displays static connection info (peer address, TLS details, auth mechanism) even when stats collection is disabled via rabbitmq.conf

  GitHub issue: #16009

Bug Fixes

• effective_policy_definition in HTTP API responses now returns an empty JSON object (not an array or empty string) when no policy applies to a queue

  GitHub issue: #16017

• Management UI: OAuth 2 used side by side with Basic Auth could fail to reload provider configuration correctly

  GitHub issue: #15793

• Management UI: preference cookie expiry now respects the configured session timeout setting rather than using a hardcoded value

  GitHub issue: #15814

• Management UI: users were presented with a 401 error after changing their own password via the UI. The session is now refreshed automatically

  GitHub issue: #15730

  GitHub issue: #16120

• WebSocket Origin header will be validated web_mqtt.allow_origins

  GitHub issue: #16158

STOMP Plugin

Enhancements

• For certain destinations that previously used non-durable (transient) queues, STOMP subscriptions now use exclusive queues, as non-exclusive transient queues are a deprecated property combination disabled by default as of this release

  GitHub issue: #13016

Web STOMP Plugin

Enhancements

• WebSocket Origin header validation is now available via web_stomp.allow_origins

  GitHub issue: #16158

RabbitMQ 4.3.0-rc.1 is a new feature release candidate.

Breaking Changes and Compatibility Notes

Mnesia and Parition Handling Strategies are Removed

Since only 4.2.x clusters can upgrade to 4.3.0 in place, this won't be a breaking change for nearly all instalations but it will affect community plugins that use Mnesia.

All partition handling-related keys in rabbitmq.conf will be accepted by 4.3.0 nodes but won't have any effect:

• cluster_partition_handling
• cluster_partition_handling.pause_if_all_down.recover
• cluster_partition_handling.pause_if_all_down.nodes.$name

Team RabbitMQ recommends removing the above keys from rabbitmq.conf before or shortly after upgrading.

Deprecated Features are Now Disabled by Default

A number of deprecated features are now disabled by default and require the user to opt-in in order to use them.

This includes non-durable (transient) non-exclusive queues: attempts to declare a queue with such property combination will be rejected by default.

Use durable queues or transient exclusive queues instead.

Classic Queues v1 Storage (CQv1) is Removed

This release removes the original classic queue storage implementation these days known as CQv1. A 2nd generation implementation called CQv2 has been adopted as the default starting with 4.2.0.

This means that attempts to declare a queue using the following optional queue arguments will fail:

• x-queue-mode set to any value
• x-queue-version set to 1

Existing classic queues upgraded to CQv2 during an earlier upgrade to 4.2.x will continue operating as usual.

Consumer Timeouts are No Longer Evaluated for Classic Queues and Streams

This release moves consumer timeout handling responsibility into the queues themselves. Also, all protocols (except for the stream protocol) now evaluate consumer timeout for queue types that support them. Classic queues and streams never evaluate consumer timeouts as their use cases largely avoid the need for such as feature.

Release Highlights

Khepri is Now The Only Metadata Store

As of this release, Khepri is the only metadata store supported by RabbitMQ: Mnesia was removed completely.

In practical operational terms, this means that

1. For a cluster to be available, a majority of nodes must be online at all times
2. Failure and partition recovery in a RabbitMQ cluster is now significantly simpler and uniform: all components that have replicated state (Khepri, quorum queues, streams) recover per Raft recovery semantics

Quorum Queues Enhancements

This release upgrades the Ra dependency to 3.x and introduces a new (8th) version of the quorum queue state machine with several new features and optimisations:

• Strict priority queues with per-priority message counts, correct redelivery ordering, and priority-aware message expiration
• Delayed retry for quorum queues: configurable increasing backoff when messages are returned
• Consumer timeout for quorum queues: configurable timeout for unacknowledged messages, with protocol-specific handling for AMQP 1.0 and MQTT
• Recovery snapshots and snapshot throttling to reduce recovery time and improve snapshotting decisions
• Memory optimisations including compact message references, optimised tuple storage for delayed keys, and removal of rabbit_fifo_index usage

Upgrading to 4.3.0

Documentation Guides on Upgrades

See the Upgrading guide for documentation on upgrades and GitHub releases for release notes of individual releases.

This release series supports upgrades from 4.2.x. Upgrades from earlier series are not supported: users must upgrade to the latest available 4.2.x patch release before upgrading to 4.3.0.

New Required Feature Flags

All feature flags introduced in 4.2.0 and earlier are required, including the following:

• rabbitmq_4.2.0
• rabbitmq_4.1.0
• rabbitmq_4.0.0
• khepri_db
• quorum_queue_non_voters
• message_containers_deaths_v2

Enable all required feature flags before upgrading to 4.3.0.

If your RabbitMQ cluster had plugin rabbitmq_amqp1_0 enabled in RabbitMQ 3.13.x (and your cluster still serves AMQP 1.0 client connections in 4.x), your cluster should do at least one rolling update after enabling feature flag rabbitmq_4.0.0 but before upgrading to 4.3.0.

Deprecated Features

In 4.3.0 the deprecation phase of the following features advanced from permitted_by_default to denied_by_default:

• amqp_address_v1
• amqp_filter_set_bug
• global_qos
• queue_master_locator
• transient_nonexcl_queues

And the deprecated feature ram_node_type has been removed.

Mixed Version Cluster Compatibility

RabbitMQ 4.3.0 nodes can run alongside 4.2.x in the same cluster.

Mixed version clusters are a mechanism that allows rolling upgrades and are not meant to be run for extended periods of time (no more than a few hours).

Recommended Post-upgrade Procedures

This version does not require any additional post-upgrade procedures compared to other versions.

Changes Worth Mentioning

Core Server

Enhancements

• When a message is rejected by a queue, RabbitMQ now provides the queue name and rejection reason to AMQP 1.0 publishers in the Rejected outcome. This is particularly useful when multiple queues are bound to an exchange, as it allows publishers to identify which specific queue out of several target queues rejected the message and why (e.g., maximum queue length reached or queue unavailable). Previously, publishers had no way to determine which queue rejected their message or the reason for rejection.

  The queue name and reason are included in the info field of the Rejected outcome's error field:

  • queue: <queue name>
  • reason: maxlen | unavailable

  GitHub issue: #15075

• Quorum queues now support strict priority queues with per-priority message counts, correct redelivery ordering across priorities, and priority-aware message expiration scans.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now support delayed retry with configurable backoff based on delivery count. When messages are returned (via reject, nack, or modify), they can be held in a delayed state before becoming available again. The delay is based on delivery count: min(min_delay * delivery_count, max_delay).

  Configuration is available via queue arguments (x-delayed-retry-type, x-delayed-retry-min, x-delayed-retry-max) or policy keys (delayed-retry-type, delayed-retry-min, delayed-retry-max). The retry type can be set to disabled, all, failed, or returned.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now support a configurable consumer timeout. When a consumer holds unacknowledged messages beyond the timeout, the messages are returned to the queue. For AMQP 1.0 clients, timed-out deliveries are released via DISPOSITION(state=released) instead of detaching the link, allowing the consumer to recover without re-attaching. MQTT consumers are also supported.

  The timeout can be set via the x-consumer-timeout consumer argument, queue argument, consumer-timeout policy key, or the global consumer_timeout setting in rabbitmq.conf.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• A new consumer_disconnected_timeout setting controls how long quorum queues wait before returning messages when a consumer's node becomes unreachable due to a network partition. The default is 60 seconds. Configurable via consumer_disconnected_timeout in rabbitmq.conf, the consumer-disconnected-timeout policy key, or the x-consumer-disconnected-timeout queue argument.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue recovery snapshots reduce recovery time after a member restart by avoiding the need to replay all enqueue commands from the log.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue snapshot throttling now uses WAL fill ratio and reclaimable byte tracking to make smarter snapshotting decisions, yielding roughly one snapshot per queue per WAL cycle instead of excessive snapshots in shallow, fast-flowing queues.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queue memory optimisations: message references now use a compact packed integer representation ("compact" means up to 59-bit) when possible, halving per-message memory overhead in many scenarios. The rabbit_fifo_index module is no longer used by the main state machine.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• Quorum queues now allow unlimited explicit message returns. The delivery limit is based on delivery-count rather than acquired-count, so messages can be explicitly returned to the queue without counting towards the delivery limit.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• The x-modulus-hash exchange type, previously provided by the sharding plugin, was moved into the core and reworked to provide stable message routing (distribution) assuming a stable set of bindings, including between node restarts.

  GitHub issue: #15849

• When quorum queue members (replicas) are deleted from a node, either manually via rabbitmq-queues shrink or as part of rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node, the members are stopped in parallel.

  GitHub issue: #15081

• Purging a quorum queue now also removes at-least-once dead-lettered messages that were pending delivery.

  GitHub issue: #13885

• AMQP 0-9-1: when a connection's credentials are refreshed, the permissions cache is now cleared and consumer permissions are re-validated immediately

  GitHub issue: #16092

• Quorum queue delivery limit can now be changed via policy without queue redeclaration

  GitHub issue: #16035

• Khepri topic exchange routing projection (v4): replaced the internal representation with a trie backed by an ordered_set ETS table, significantly improving routing performance for topic exchanges with many bindings

• If a quorum queue with a large backlog terminated abnormally, node memory footprint could spike.

  GitHub issue: #15837

• rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node now removes all quorum queue and stream members (replicas) before proceeding to leave the metadata store cluster.

  This order minimizes the risk of some replicas being left behind on the leaving node.

  GitHub issue: #15729

• Quorum queue at-most-once dead lettering for the overflow behaviour drop-head now happens in the correct order.

  GitHub issue: #14926

• Quorum queues returned an incorrect consumer count in the response to a passive queue.declare operation

  GitHub issue: #16185

• Classic queue shared store could leave stale index entries after segment removal or rollover, causing unnecessary disk space usage

  GitHub issue: #16142

• Bindings targeting Direct Reply-to pseudo-queues are now rejected instead of being silently accepted without any functional effect

  GitHub issue: #15935

• AMQP 1.0 sessions could grant too many credits in certain failure and recovery scenarios

  GitHub issue: #14948

• Stream deletion is now more resilient and can handle certain mid-deletion failure scenarios.

  GitHub issue: #14852

• new_stream coordinator command is now idempotent. Previously, concurrent or retried stream declarations could produce spurious errors even though the stream was created successfully

Bug Fixes

• effective_policy_definition in HTTP API responses now returns an empty JSON object (not an array or empty string) when no policy applies to a queue

  GitHub issue: #16017

• Management UI: OAuth 2 used side by side with Basic Auth could fail to reload provider configuration correctly

  GitHub issue: #15793

• Management UI: preference cookie expiry now respects the configured session timeout setting rather than using a hardcoded value

• Management UI: users were presented with a 401 error after changing their own password via the UI. The session is now refreshed automatically

  GitHub issue: #15730

• The deprecated, unused GET /api/auth endpoint was removed.

  It has been out of use since 3.11 but never removed.

  GitHub issue: #16143

MQTT Plugin

Enhancements

• For MQTT 5.0 publishers, when a message is rejected because the target queue's maximum length is exceeded, RabbitMQ now returns a Quota exceeded reason code in the PUBACK packet. This provides publishers with actionable information about why their message was rejected.

  GitHub issue: #15075

• MQTT QoS 0 queue type now reports member information in management API responses

  GitHub issue: #15656

Web MQTT Plugin

Enhancements

• A default max_frame_size is now set on WebSocket connections, bounding decompressed frame sizes. The limit starts at mqtt.max_packet_size_unauthenticated and is raised after successful CONNECT

  GitHub issue: #16180

• A login_timeout is now enforced for WebSocket connections, matching the TCP listener behavior

  GitHub issue: #16120

• WebSocket Origin header will be validated web_mqtt.allow_origins

  GitHub issue: #16158

STOMP Plugin

Enhancements

• For certain destinations that previously used non-durable (transient) queues, STOMP subscriptions now use exclusive queues, as non-exclusive transient queues are a deprecated property combination disabled by default as of this release

  GitHub issue: #13016

Web STOMP Plugin

Enhancements

• WebSocket Origin header validation is now available via web_stomp.allow_origins

  GitHub issue: #16158

Federation Plugin

Enhancements

• Federation links and their connections are now stopped in parallel.

  This significantly improves shutdown time for nodes with many (into thousands) federation links.

  GitHub issue: #15271

• Federation links no longer restart during plugin or node shutdown.

  For nodes with hundreds or thousands of federation links, link recovery could significantly delay node shutdown.

  GitHub issue: #15258

  GitHub issue: #14937

• DN values are now handled per RFC 4514

  GitHub issue: #16101

HTTP Auth Backend Plugin

Enhancements

• The HTTP Auth Backend can now optionally provide a custom authorization denial reason to AMQP clients.

  To opt in, return deny <Reason> (instead of only deny) in the HTTP response body of your HTTP auth backend and set the following in your rabbitmq.conf file:

auth_http.authorization_failure_disclosure = true

See the README for more information.

GitHub issue: #14641
