Your are correct. The sentence you referenced is in the section that describes RabbitMQ without clustering. The next section talks about the tradeoffs of RabbitMQ clustering.
OK. Fair enough. But that's merely a configuration choice and not really a shortcoming of RabbitMQ and even without a cluster, persistent queues are at your disposal, it's just that a HA cluster would be able to give you more of a guarantee.
thanks. The Pros/Cons were supposed to refer to the complete architecture setup, and not to the Q component by itself. I can see how that could have been read that way...
