Of course, if machine 1 went down, all the messages in its hash slices would sit unprocessed, but it would be a fairly simple matter to reconfigure machine 2 to handle machine 1's slices, or to bring up a fallback machine to handle those slices in the meantime.
Ahh, okay. Cool. I knew that there was a hashing scheme, but I had thought the intent was to use that for allowing multiple queue runners for each queue, on a single machine. I wasn't aware that the same mechanism would be used for splitting the queues across servers via NFS -- allowing you to avoid the locking problems I mentioned earlier.
Cool.
