Is there a way to set a maximum size for a group of queues, or even all queues?
My dilemma is that I have several queues (lets say 8), and when the consumer application is off/disconnected for a while, these queues will fill up memory (lets say 8GB) fairly quickly. Currently I'm setting a maximum size per queue (eg. 1GB per queue * 8 queues), however the queues fill at different rates. My next approach would be to set the individual queue sizes according to how fast they fill relative to each other (eg. 4 queues @ 500MB max size and the faster filling 4 queues @ 1500MB max size), however the relative rates can also vary quite a lot. What I want is: 1) Never use more than 8GB total 2) Maximize time before any individual queue starts overflowing so as to maximize the downtime of the consumer application without loss of messages I was hoping there would be a way to just set a max size for all my queues so that they share the 8GB pool which should solve my problems. Or maybe there is another way to go about this?
