jack patwork commented on AMQ-5129:
-----------------------------------
I've seen the same thing on 5.9.1. I'm running a 4 node cluster and
intermittently, every few weeks, the scheduler stops working. I haven't yet
been able to spot what triggers this. I'm using the purgeInactiveDestinations
on dynamic topics that are being getting and purged a few times a minute so in
order to keep the memory under control this is critical. When it stops within a
few hours the affected instance is out of memory and needs a restart.
I think the scheduler definitely needs to be more robust and handle failures
without stopping. It's a concern that the the scheduler can stop without any
trace of failure in the logs, apart from a canary watch of the scheduler log
lines.

> Key: AMQ-5129
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5129
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 5.9.0
> Reporter: matteo rulli
> Attachments: proposed-patch.txt
>
>
> Since Timer has only one execution thread, long-running task can affect other
> scheduled tasks. Besides, runtime exceptions thrown in TimerTasks kill the
> only one running thread, bringing down the entire Scheduler.
> I have the suspect that all this could relate to AMQ-3938: sometimes in very
> busy environments I experience exaclty the same problem: a slow leakeage due
> to temp queues that are not deleted. Since
> org.apache.activemq.broker.region.RegionBroker uses a Scheduler to activate
> the purgeInactiveDestinations, a crashed timer could explain why
> purgeInactiveDestinations stops working.
> I attached a tentative patch to migrate timer to ScheduledExecutorService.
> Hope this helps.
