Hi Gordon, 

Thanks a lot for the information. 
I have raise the JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3316

By the way, are there any plans to implement any paging solution you have 
mentioned, to make qpidd to consume more hdd space rather than memory?


Best Regards,
Sergey Zhemzhitsky

That policy allows the body of the message to be released from memory, but the 
headers etc will still be held in memory. For small messages (such as the 32 
byte message you are sending), this policy will not really do anything useful.

Your use case really requires a proper paging solution which qpidd does not yet 
support.
