class Consumer(object):
    """Message consumer.

    :param connection: see :attr:`connection`.
    :param queue: see :attr:`queue`.
    :param exchange: see :attr:`exchange`.
    :param routing_key: see :attr:`routing_key`.

    :keyword no_ack: see :attr:`no_ack`.

    .. attribute:: connection

        The connection to the broker.
        A :class:`carrot.connection.BrokerConnection` instance.

    .. attribute:: queue

       Name of the queue.

    .. attribute:: exchange

        Name of the exchange the queue binds to.

    .. attribute:: routing_key

        The routing key (if any). The interpretation of the routing key
        depends on the value of the :attr:`exchange_type` attribute:

            * direct exchange

                Matches if the routing key property of the message and
                the :attr:`routing_key` attribute are identical.

            * fanout exchange

                Always matches, even if the binding does not have a key.

            * topic exchange

                Matches the routing key property of the message by a primitive
                pattern matching scheme. The message routing key then consists
                of words separated by dots (``"."``, like domain names), and
                two special characters are available; star (``"*"``) and hash
                (``"#"``). The star matches any word, and the hash matches
                zero or more words. For example ``"*.stock.#"`` matches the
                routing keys ``"usd.stock"`` and ``"eur.stock.db"`` but not
                ``"stock.nasdaq"``.

    .. attribute:: durable

        Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable
        exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged when a server restarts.
        Default is ``True``.

    .. attribute:: auto_delete

        If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished
        using it. Default is ``False``.

    .. attribute:: exclusive

        Exclusive queues may only be consumed from by the current connection.
        When :attr:`exclusive` is on, this also implies :attr:`auto_delete`.
        Default is ``False``.

    .. attribute:: exchange_type

        AMQP defines four default exchange types (routing algorithms) that
        covers most of the common messaging use cases. An AMQP broker can
        also define additional exchange types, so see your message brokers
        manual for more information about available exchange types.

            * Direct

                Direct match between the routing key in the message, and the
                routing criteria used when a queue is bound to this exchange.

            * Topic

                Wildcard match between the routing key and the routing pattern
                specified in the binding. The routing key is treated as zero
                or more words delimited by ``"."`` and supports special
                wildcard characters. ``"*"`` matches a single word and ``"#"``
                matches zero or more words.

            * Fanout

                Queues are bound to this exchange with no arguments. Hence any
                message sent to this exchange will be forwarded to all queues
                bound to this exchange.

            * Headers

                Queues are bound to this exchange with a table of arguments
                containing headers and values (optional). A special argument
                named "x-match" determines the matching algorithm, where
                ``"all"`` implies an ``AND`` (all pairs must match) and
                ``"any"`` implies ``OR`` (at least one pair must match).

                Use the :attr:`routing_key`` is used to specify the arguments,
                the same when sending messages.

            This description of AMQP exchange types was shamelessly stolen
            from the blog post `AMQP in 10 minutes: Part 4`_ by
            Rajith Attapattu. Recommended reading.

            .. _`AMQP in 10 minutes: Part 4`:
                http://bit.ly/amqp-exchange-types

    .. attribute:: callbacks

        List of registered callbacks to trigger when a message is received
        by :meth:`wait`, :meth:`process_next` or :meth:`iterqueue`.

    .. attribute:: warn_if_exists

        Emit a warning if the queue has already been declared. If a queue
        already exists, and you try to redeclare the queue with new settings,
        the new settings will be silently ignored, so this can be
        useful if you've recently changed the :attr:`routing_key` attribute
        or other settings.

    .. attribute:: auto_ack

        Acknowledgement is handled automatically once messages are received.
        This means that the :meth:`carrot.backends.base.BaseMessage.ack` and
        :meth:`carrot.backends.base.BaseMessage.reject` methods
        on the message object are no longer valid.
        By default :attr:`auto_ack` is set to ``False``, and the receiver is
        required to manually handle acknowledgment.

    .. attribute:: no_ack

        Disable acknowledgement on the server-side. This is different from
        :attr:`auto_ack` in that acknowledgement is turned off altogether.
        This functionality increases performance but at the cost of
        reliability. Messages can get lost if a client dies before it can
        deliver them to the application.

    .. attribute auto_declare

        If this is ``True`` the following will be automatically declared:

            * The queue if :attr:`queue` is set.
            * The exchange if :attr:`exchange` is set.
            * The :attr:`queue` will be bound to the :attr:`exchange`.

        This is the default behaviour.

            * 1 or "transient"

                The message is transient. Which means it is stored in

            * 2 or "persistent"
                The message is persistent. Which means the message is
                stored both in-memory, and on disk, and therefore
                preserved if the server dies or restarts.

        The default value is ``2`` (persistent).

        See :attr:`Consumer.exchange_type`.

        If this is ``True`` and the :attr:`exchange` name is set, the exchange
        will be automatically declared at instantiation.
        You can manually the declare the exchange by using the :meth:`declare`
        method.

        Auto declare is on by default.

        A string identifying the default serialization method to use.
