Page Edited : qpid : Producer flow control Producer flow control has been edited by Aidan Skinner (Jun 26, 2008). (View changes) Content: Producer flow control is necessary to stop clients from overwhelming a broker if messages are not being consumed fast enough, this is filed in Jira as QPID-942. To implement this, the following changes are necessary: Client send() needs to become potentially blocking, if the producer has been flow controlled then send() should not either throw an exception (which will be the default behaviour), or it will block until the producer has been unflowed (this will only occur of a system property has been set). Broker When a message has been enqueued, the broker should check if the producer is publishing to a queue which has violated it's policy, if so then the producer will be flow controlled. When a consumer has had a message delivered, if the queue is no longer violating it's policy then producers will be unflow controlled. This check will occur after enqueing so as not to slow down the broker. Queues and exchanges will have policies attached to them (queues will inherit from their exchange if they do not have one), which will specify the point at which producers should be flow controlled in terms of queue count or queue depth. These policies will be manageable over JMX, so they can be applied or removed without having to restart the broker. The management console will also gain a "stop all producers" button to enable throttling of arbitary queues, and a "start all producers" button which will start all flowed producers. Disadvantages of this approach The producer will not be flowed until they publish to a queue which is violating it's policy, so if you have N producers each publishing to a queue, you will get N messages on top of the one that pushes the queue into a delinquent state.
