Rabbitmq Server cluster docker images for openshift origin platform

Build rabbitmq cluster docker images for openshift origin platform.
Down load docker file tarball rabbitmq.tar, and cd rabbitmq, run 

docker build -t rabbitmq .

after build process is done, tag the images built with rabbitmq:v002

docker images

docker tag image-id rabbitmq:v002

and then deploy a rabbitmq-server cluster in openshift origin platform. we should create a serviceaccount rabbitmq, and add it with anyuid scc.

oc create serviceaccount rabbitmq
oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z rabbitmq

deploy it 

oc create -f rabbitmq.yaml

Adjust total file descriptors of rabbitmq

The total file descriptors number of rabbitmq is 1024 by default. This value is not big enough obviously when your openstack cluster grows. If the file descriptor or socket descriptor reaches its limit, the rabbitmq server will close incoming connections. and you will see the error below:
