Gary Tully created AMQ-6849: ------------------------------- Summary: Support a virtual topic discard mode for full consumer queues Key: AMQ-6849 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6849 Project: ActiveMQ Issue Type: Improvement Components: Broker Affects Versions: 5.15.0 Reporter: Gary Tully Assignee: Gary Tully Fix For: 5.16.0
For regular topics, the slow consumer problem has a few solutions via the [discarding policies|http://activemq.apache.org/slow-consumer-handling.html] For Virtual Topics, message expiry is the only viable option, however dispatch will be blocked till expiry kicks in. In the same way that we can discard some messages for a slow topic subscriber it can make sense to discard messages for a subscriber queue that is full such that dispatch to fast queues can continue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
