Francesco Nigro updated ARTEMIS-2177:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently ActiveMQThreadPoolExecutor uses internally a shared LinkedBlocking 
queue that always perform a lock to push messages into the queue and signal to 
wake up any (if any) awaiting consumer thread.
This mechanics has 2 disadvantages:
- given that the Runnable queue is contended among all the offering/consuming 
threads it scales negatively
- the cost on offer side of awaking a dormient thread is quite high

To improve this behaviour would be nice to use a work stealing pool that spread 
the cost of using the same queue by
distributing the offers among different runnable queues and that can reduce the 
cost of awaking a dormient thread only if no thread is able 
to execute a submitted task.
Such work stealing pool already exists and is the ForkJoin pool available from 
Java >=8.

Currently ActiveMQThreadPoolExecutor uses internally a shared LinkedBlocking 
queue that always perform a lock to push messages into the queue and signal to 
wake up any (if any) awaiting consumer thread.
This same behaviour could be improved both by:
- using a lock-free queue that would eventually signal any (if any) threads 
only if there is some
- using a work stealing pool
