Exclusive Consumer

Starting with version 1.3, you can configure the listener container with a single exclusive consumer. This prevents other containers from consuming from the queues until the current consumer is cancelled. The concurrency of such a container must be 1.

When using exclusive consumers, other containers try to consume from the queues according to the recoveryInterval property and log a WARN message if the attempt fails.
