Description

I would like to make a change to the management schema for the broker. A patch will be attached.

The current schema causes the "broker" object to be indexed by the TCP port. This is a problem in clusters where each node in the cluster may have a different port. Since the port is part of the index, and the index is used as the QMFv2 object identifier, method calls addressed to the broker may not be handled uniformly by each node in a cluster.

The change removes the "index" status from the "port" attribute and adds a new index attribute called "name". This name is fixed as "amqp-broker". This is a safe thing to do as there is only one broker associated with the broker-resident agent.
