Niall Stapley commented on AMQ-394: ----------------------------------- We have a similar scenario which would make this feature very useful. There is a single publisher producing many small messages (to topics) to many (sometimes slow or even stalled) subscribers. The data in the messages is useful only for about 10 seconds, so we try to use topicPublisher.setTimeToLive(10000) to avoid flow control or broker buffer problems. The messages transmit the latest state and do so regularly so it is not important if delivery of older messages is unreliable for slow consumers, as long as the producer remain unimpeded. > for non-durable topics add a configurable Policy to drop messages from slow > consumers > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-394 > URL: http://jira.activemq.org/jira//browse/AMQ-394 > Project: ActiveMQ > Type: New Feature > Components: Broker > Reporter: james strachan > Fix For: 4.1 > > > e.g. for market data pricing we may wish to only allow say 1000 pending > messages but discard old messages rather than have things back up.
