             Summary: Message age alerting is inappropriate on the enqueue path
                 Key: QPID-6764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6764
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java Broker
            Reporter: Keith Wall


The Java Broker supports number of configurable message/queue alerts such as 
message size alert (overly large messages), queue depth alert (queues with an 
unexpected number of message on them), or message age alert (a queue containing 
a message which is older than a threshold).  These checks are performed in two 
places: periodically by housekeeping and when a message is enqueued.

The message age alert check is performed on by housekeeping and on enqueue of a 
new message.  The latter check is inappropriate and is a waste of resources.  
Unlike the other checks, enqueuing a message can't affect the outcome.  It 
should be performed only be housekeeping.  

The message age check involves taking a lock on the oldest message - so may 
have a significant computation overhead.
