Resolution: Fixed
> Docuement details of producer block over CORE protocol
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARTEMIS-627
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-627
> Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Martyn Taylor
> Priority: Major
>
> To BLOCK production of messages to an address once it reaches a particular
> size in memory, an AddressSetting can be added to the broker that specifies
> the address size, address match string and the address full policy "BLOCK".
> This should block messages once the address is full, however the current
> implementation uses flow control to allocate producers credits, once the
> address is full the broker will not allocate any more credits.
> There are two issues with this approach.
> 1. The main issue is that the credits are not tracked or checked at the
> broker side. The ActiveMQ client takes care of blocking message production
> when it runs out of credit. However, a rogue client could easily allocate
> it's own credits and continue sending. I've tested this by hacking the
> client and it behaves in this way.
> 2. Even in a non hacked client the size of the address could be pushed over
> it's limit, as more credits can be allocated than is available space on the
> address. An address can be full, no more credits are allocated but each
> producer is able to empty it's credits pushing the address over its limit.
