> Route messages to broker with large header
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARTEMIS-3500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3500
> Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Broker
> Affects Versions: 2.18.0
> Environment: PROD
> Reporter: Ekta
> Priority: Major
>
> Below is what our application and messaging architecture looks like.
> {noformat}
> Microservice --> nlb --> qpid ---> amq brokers (Master/slave){noformat}
> We recently saw a scenario where a Java microservice application pushed a few
> messages to our brokers where the message was containing a larger header than
> the normal size header. This led to a very big disaster and caused our whole
> broker environment to crash. To avoid such cases like these is there a way to
> discard a message or handle this situation at the broker so that it does not
> end up in a big mess on our brokers? Qpid is basically acting like a proxy
> and simply routes the traffic to the brokers. Though the broker rejects this
> large header message, but still stores it in its memory and goes in infinite
> loop and keeps retrying to process the message which causes over head on the
> brokers and immediately all the brokers go in shutdown state.
> After filtering out the headers to a smaller size, we could see the issue is
> resolved. If there is a way to handle this little better on the broker or
> even if it is possible on Qpid layer we would also consider that.
> Appreciate any feedback if anyone have faced this issue before as it could
> happen again in future. Below are some of the exceptions we saw related to
> above issue.
> {noformat}
> Caused by: javax.jms.JMSException: AMQ149005: Message of 564,590 bytes is
> bigger than the max record size of 501,760 bytes. You should try to move
> large application properties to the message body. [condition =
> failed]{noformat}
