I can't give you any really exact measurements, but I can tell you
that we found that getting Fedora and GSearch attached via a separate
instance of ActiveMQ was trivial. It took perhaps five minutes. Your
question reminds that perhaps we ought to do some of those JMeter test
we've been putting off. {grin}
We've successfully run batch ingests of a few thousand objects through
that system without any difficulty. It was necessary to spend some
time (perhaps half a "man-day") tuning ActiveMQ's datastores and
memory usage and the like to get reliably good performance, but that
was expected and normal.
Have you decided on a particular piece of broker software? Most can be
scaled both vertically and horizontally. We'll be clustering ActiveMQ
at some point in the future.
