RabbitMQ - Clustering

AIt forces the larger group to pause

BIt continues processing messages normally

CIt automatically deletes all queues

DIt pauses all queue operations until the partition resolves

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand 'pause_minority' behavior
This setting pauses the minority partition to avoid split-brain conflicts.
Step 2: Apply to smaller group in partition
The smaller group is the minority and will pause queue operations until the network heals.
Final Answer:
It pauses all queue operations until the partition resolves -> Option D
Quick Check:
pause_minority pauses smaller group [OK]

Quick Trick: pause_minority pauses smaller partition group [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Thinking smaller group continues processing
Assuming queues get deleted automatically
