BossMQ and Hot Reload

[rlander]

Are we supposed to lose all boss_mq messages and channels after a hot reload? I'm using boss_mq for user notifications in a web app, but it's not very useful if messages and channels are lost between code upgrades since we'll be doing those daily. Is that the intended behavior?

I don't know about specific behaviour of BossMQ, I am newbie in Chicago Boss, but the hot reload code of Erlang not loss data, only change the code, even a old code can run while new code is running because Erlang first load the new code with the old, the old code continue execution until the process end or change to new code when call to other function in a specific conditions, and when nothing is running old code then Erlang remove the old code. If anybody know specific behavior of BossMQ maybe more usefull, sorry.
