Rob Godfrey commented on QPID-499:
----------------------------------
Earlier work alowed expired messages on the broker to be removed when they were
encountered when searching for the next message to be delivered to a consumer.
This provided TTL support when there were consumers attached to a queue.
However, if there is a queue without consumers (e.g. a surable topic
subscription where the client is not currently active) then messages which are
expired are not "reaped". This may lead to OOM exceptions.
Because of the complicated implementation of queues and the locking thereof;
rather than implementing a reaper thread that checks across all queues; it is
safer to implement a reaper thread that only looks at queues with no consumers.
Where it finds such a queue, it may lock said queue, inspect it for expired
messages, and remove such.

> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: M2
> Reporter: Martin Ritchie
> Assignee: Rob Godfrey
> Fix For: M2.1
>
>
> The timeToLive parameter is available on some of the send methods of the
> javax.jmx.MessageProducer interface and thus on the qpid implementation
> (org.apache.qpid.client.BasicMessageProducer) of this interface. However,
> this flag is not actually implemented i.e. currently just ignored :-(
> We need to implement support for this parameter. This requires a check on the
> AMQP protocol handling of this flag i.e. to check that it can currently be
> supported. Think it is - but implementer to check and raise if not.
> The information below has been extracted from section 4.8 of the JMS
> specification fyi (see spec for more detail/refs):
> A client can specify a time-to-live value in milliseconds for each message it
> sends. This value defines a message expiration time that is the sum of the
> message's time-to-live and the GMT it is sent (for transacted sends, this is
> the time the client sends the message, not the time the transaction is
> committed). A JMS provider should do its best to expire messages accurately;
> however, JMS does not define the accuracy provided. It is not acceptable to
> simply ignore time-to-live.
> For more information on message expiration, see Section 3.4.9 "JMSExpiration."
