RocketMQ Metadata Migration Overview

RocketMQ metadata contains topics and consumer groups excluding message production or consumption records. To use the original topics and consumer groups, migrate their metadata to a specified RocketMQ instance, without the need of manual creation.

RocketMQ service migration involves the following scenarios:

  • Migrating RocketMQ instance metadata from others, which includes:
    • Metadata of others' RocketMQ
    • Metadata of self-hosted RocketMQ instance

      Huawei Cloud RocketMQ instances are compatible with open-source RocketMQ 4.8.0 and 5.x. For more information, see Comparing DMS for RocketMQ and Open-Source RocketMQ.

    • Metadata of another cloud RocketMQ instance
  • Migrating RocketMQ instance metadata from RabbitMQ
