RocketMQ Proxy Deployment Guide

Overview

RocketMQ Proxy supports two deployment modes, Local mode and Cluster mode.

With Local mode, Proxy deployed with Broker in the same process with inter-process communication.

While Cluster mode, Proxy is a single cluster who communicate Broker with remote procedure call. In this way, Proxy acts as a stateless computing components while Broker is a stateful components with local storage. This form of deployment makes RocketMQ an architecture of separation of computing and storage.

Configuration

The configuration applies to both the Cluster mode and Local mode, whose default path is distribution/conf/rmq-proxy.json directory.

Cluster mode

• Set configuration field nameSrvAddr.
• Set configuration field proxyMode to cluster (case insensitive).

Run the command below.

nohup sh mqproxy &

The command will only run Proxy itself. It requires Namesrv and Broker components running.

Local mode

• Set configuration field nameSrvAddr.
• Set configuration field proxyMode to local (case insensitive).

Run the command below.

nohup sh mqproxy &

The command will not only run Proxy, but also run Broker. It requires Namesrv only and there's no need for extra Broker.
