I am using ActiveMQ 5.2 (also tried 5.3) on Windows XP with the default out-of-the-box configuration.
I have a small test program with one producer and one consumer. The producer puts 500 text messages on a queue with a tiny payload (~32 bytes). The consumer (a message listener) reads the message and increments a counter. All three processes are running locally. Regardless of persistence setting, the hard disk is hammered non-stop with read/write requests while the test is running. I am using Process Monitor from the sysinternals suite and it shows that ActiveMQ is constantly reading and writing under the data\journal and data\kr-store folders. Is this normal? I noticed it because I recently got a new machine (with dual 15k SAS drives in a RAID stripe) and they go NUTS when I'm running a local broker and executing these tests. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Heavy-Disk-Write--tp21800869p21800869.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
