Hi Christian, Prior to introducing the 'producer window' both the producer and consumer were blocked (If I don't consume from my DLQ) - which was expected. The temporary work-around I have is to simply increase the memoryUsage to a higher value and also ensure messages are not queued up in activeMQ.DLQ This definitely mitigates the problem of producer & consumer hanging up.
However after introducing 'producer window' I notice that the consumer is blocked while the producer is not blocked, i.e I can see that the camel route is still attempting to publish to the Queue but I don't see the messages in the Queue i.e I don't see queue size increasing at all - which makes sense because we don't want producer to push messages to Queue until broker has acked them but I don't quite understand what is happening to the messages and why the route is still attempting to publish them. Current setting I have is (this is to replicate the issue, in the real world memoryUsage would be set to 512MB) <systemUsage> <systemUsage> <memoryUsage> <memoryUsage limit="100 kb"/> </memoryUsage> <storeUsage> <storeUsage limit="100 gb"/> </storeUsage> <tempUsage> <tempUsage limit="50 gb"/> </tempUsage> </systemUsage> </systemUsage> producerWindowSize value="100" My other query is around activeMQ.DLQ. As I understand any message that is failed to delivered to a destination is put in this Queue. In our application - we don't have a mechanism to clear this up - is the expectation to auto clear messages from DLQ? i.e. are messages "NOT" expected to lie around in DLQ indefinitely? Workaround we are thinking is to create a new dedicated Queue (lets call it analysis-Queue) to hold messages that have failed to deliver. i.e. we want to collate these messages for Business to investigate what is wrong them. Is simply moving these messages from DLQ to a analysis-Queue again going to cause the same issue in terms of messages building up and again causing memoryUsage constraint, since memoryUsage we set in broker-config.xml for the over all broker? as explained in http://www.christianposta.com/blog/?p=273 thanks D -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Query-around-ActiveMQ-DLQ-tp4666277p4666810.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
