Version 2 includes some backwards-incompatible changes that allow broker federation to work. Users should update to version 2 when they are able to take everything down, as it requires a clean break.
qpid_username = (StrOpt) Username for Qpid connection.
send_single_reply = False (BoolOpt) Send a single AMQP reply to call message. The current behaviour since oslo-incubator is to send two AMQP replies - first one with the payload, a second one to ensure the other have finish to send the payload. We are going to remove it in the N release, but we must keep backward compatible at the same time. This option provides such compatibility - it defaults to False in Liberty and can be turned on for early adopters with a new installations or for testing. Please note, that this option will be removed in the Mitaka release.
