…tom prefixes By specifying the prefix in the `name_prefix` optional queue argument. The default remains `amq.gen`. The prefix is meant to allow the user to use app-specific prefixes to eariest tell which app owns a given server-named queue. So the prefixes are meant to be relatively short, limited to 64 bytes (not UTF codepoints) by design since queue names have the 255 byte limit in AMQP 0-9-1. Conflicts: deps/rabbit/Makefile

By specifying the prefix in the
name_prefixoptional queue argument (x-argument).The default prefix remains
amq.gen.The prefix is meant to allow the user to use app-specific prefixes to easily (or easier) tell which app owns a given server-named queue. So the prefixes are meant to be relatively short, limited to 64 bytes (not UTF codepoints) by design since queue names have a 255 byte limit in AMQP 0-9-1.
I have considered adding a
rabbitmq.confsetting for the prefix but goal is to allow applications to pick the prefix, so that little side feature wouldn't make much sense.
