I have a queue which i use to publish the status of the device.
The consumer will dequeue the status and send it to a central management system at a configurable frequency. The publisher will publish a new status only when there is a change in the device state. In some circumstances the queue will contain multiple device messages but only the most recent one is valid. I was wondering whether there was a way to apply the following policy to the queue such that it only holds the most recent device status. Can I limit the size of the queue to 1 message; the most recent one. cheers </jima>
