[bitnami/rabbitmq] Use of clustering.rebalance is not documented properly

[utkarshmani1997]

Name and Version

bitnami/rabbitmq 15.2.3

What is the problem this feature will solve?

There are a few instances of cluster.rebalance in the chart but it's not clear how and where is this flag really used.
I found an instance where we are only setting the env RABBITMQ_CLUSTER_REBALANCE to true, but where exactly is this env variable used?
I want to understand its effect on Quorum Queues and whether it is required or not.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Having a clear comment on this flag about its uses will help in understanding its use cases and whether it is required or not in Quorum Queues.

Hi,

The env var is used here: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/d42d276a324c917bc0d575d6f6e7cdccec24c50e/bitnami/rabbitmq/4.0/debian-12/rootfs/opt/bitnami/scripts/rabbitmq/run.sh#L21

That script is run after the RabbitMQ initialization.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I will update the comments about its uses.
