Timothy Bish commented on AMQ-6203:
-----------------------------------
These changes operate at the journal level where mistakes means loss of
messages in the worse case, so for folks dropping this into their production as
a point release unaware of this change there could be some big surprises if I
happened to have missed something in there.
If someone does take it upon themselves to put this on a point release I'd
recommend that they make it off by default just to protect those not expecting
such a change.
> KahaDB: Allow rewrite of message acks in older logs which prevent cleanup
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AMQ-6203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6203
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KahaDB
> Affects Versions: 5.13.0, 5.13.1, 5.12.3, 5.13.2
> Reporter: Timothy Bish
> Assignee: Timothy Bish
> Fix For: 5.14.0
>
>
> There are cases where a chain of journal logs can grow due to acks for
> messages in older logs needing to be kept so that on recovery proper state
> can be restored and older messages not be resurrected.
> In many cases just moving the acks from one log forward to a new log can free
> an entire chain during subsequent GC cycles. The 'compacted' ack log can be
> written during the time between GC cycles without the index lock being held
> meaning normal broker operations can continue.
