Description

Currently when an AMQPMessage is sent to a Artemis cluster configured for load balancing the server throws an exception. I would be in favor of 1) allowing an AMQPMessage to be load balanced. but other options include 2) improving the documentation around load balancing AMQP to make users aware of this limitation or 3) more gracefully handling this limitation by still allowing the message to be delivered but not attempt to load balance it. the current behavior is unexpected and disruptive.

this was brought up in the users list http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Artemis-2-1-0-struggling-to-produce-AMQP1-0-messages-on-a-cluster-server-side-load-balancing-td4728658.html and responded to by clebertsuconic. the error is demonstrated here in a test case https://github.com/danlangford/tq-artemis-example/tree/ARTEMIS-1297

as a work around the current suggested pattern for load balancing AMQP is to use QPID Dispatch Router
