Thanks for the reply, but this is the behaviour of broker, what will
this affect the producer? Will the producer simply gets notified that
its message has been accepted/rejected and close the session or maybe
it'll hang on there for a moment in certain cases.

Producer has set the delivery property to PERSISTENT, I used --store-dir
to start the broker but I'm not sure if that means the queue is
persistent. Also the producer and broker are using direct exchange.

It will depend on the policy set. The default policy for a temporary 
queue (for all queues if no store plugin is loaded) is to simply reject 
new messages (which will end the producers session).

The default for durable queues is to write new messages to disk (whether

or not the message itself is marked persistent) and then release the 
contents from memory to be loaded again for delivery to a subscriber.
