Claim 0:
1. A method for message handling implemented by a first node of a plurality of nodes in a distributed computing environment that includes the plurality of nodes and a message broker service separate from the plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
receiving, by the first node, a message to be sent by a target node to a client application using a connection between the client application and the target node, where the message was generated by a second node that has no connection to the client application, and where the message includes a node identifier of the target node that is to send the message to the client application;
responsive to the receiving, determining whether the node identifier corresponds to an identifier of the first node; and
responsive to determining that the node identifier in the message does not correspond to an identifier of the first node, forwarding the message to the message broker service for distribution to the target node instead of forwarding the message directly to the target node.
