ActiveMQMapMessage stay in memory causing leaks -----------------------------------------------
Key: AMQ-2918 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2918 Project: ActiveMQ Issue Type: Bug Components: Broker Affects Versions: 5.4.0 Environment: Windows XP Reporter: ashwini kuntamukkala I am running embedded broker in a spring container. During a volume test, I forward messages to a dead letter queue. ActiveMQMapMessage that are being redirected to dead letter queue stay in memory. So, if I forward 15000 messages to dead letter queue, all 15000 messages will be in memory. These are persistent messages. I want to have a smaller memory footprint. Why are the activemqmapmessages staying in memory. the ones that were successfully processed get deleted just fine. This is jmap -histo output 14: 19826 3647984 org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQMapMessage 28: 19791 791640 org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue total of 19K+ activeMqMapMessages and ActiveMQQueue instances... Since these are dead letter messages, why does ActiveMQ need to hold references to these messages in memory?? ---------------------------------- I tried using the filequeuecursor: after a while the broker stopped responding because of the following error. org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Service.serviceException() 294 : Async error occurred: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.cursors.FilePendingMessageCursor.tryAddMessageLast(FilePendingMessageCursor.java:228) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.cursors.FilePendingMessageCursor.addMessageLast(FilePendingMessageCursor.java:192) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.Queue.sendMessage(Queue.java:1601) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.Queue.doMessageSend(Queue.java:707) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.Queue.send(Queue.java:646) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.AbstractRegion.send(AbstractRegion.java:365) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.RegionBroker.send(RegionBroker.java:494) at org.apache.activemq.broker.BrokerFilter.send(BrokerFilter.java:129) at org.apache.activemq.broker.scheduler.SchedulerBroker.send(SchedulerBroker.java:136) at org.apache.activemq.broker.BrokerFilter.send(BrokerFilter.java:129) at org.apache.activemq.broker.CompositeDestinationBroker.send(CompositeDestinationBroker.java:96) at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransactionBroker.send(TransactionBroker.java:230) at org.apache.activemq.broker.MutableBrokerFilter.send(MutableBrokerFilter.java:135) at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.processMessage(TransportConnection.java:460) at org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQMessage.visit(ActiveMQMessage.java:663) at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.service(TransportConnection.java:309) at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection$1.onCommand(TransportConnection.java:185) at org.apache.activemq.transport.ResponseCorrelator.onCommand(ResponseCorrelator.java:116) at org.apache.activemq.transport.TransportFilter.onCommand(TransportFilter.java:69) at org.apache.activemq.transport.vm.VMTransport.iterate(VMTransport.java:218) at org.apache.activemq.thread.PooledTaskRunner.runTask(PooledTaskRunner.java:122) at org.apache.activemq.thread.PooledTaskRunner$1.run(PooledTaskRunner.java:43) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.plist.PList.addLast(PList.java:176) at org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.plist.PList$2.execute(PList.java:163) at org.apache.kahadb.page.Transaction.execute(Transaction.java:728) at org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.plist.PList.addLast(PList.java:161) at org.apache.activemq.broker.region.cursors.FilePendingMessageCursor.tryAddMessageLast(FilePendingMessageCursor.java:221) ... 24 more -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
