Is there a way to set a maximum size for a group of queues, or even all queues?
My dilemma is that I have several queues (lets say 8), and when the consumer
application is off/disconnected for a while, these queues will fill up memory
(lets say 8GB) fairly quickly. Currently I'm setting a maximum size per queue
(eg. 1GB per queue * 8 queues), however the queues fill at different rates. My
next approach would be to set the individual queue sizes according to how fast
they fill relative to each other (eg. 4 queues @ 500MB max size and the faster
filling 4 queues @ 1500MB max size), however the relative rates can also vary
quite a lot.
What I want is:
1) Never use more than 8GB total
2) Maximize time before any individual queue starts overflowing so as to
maximize the downtime of the consumer application without loss of messages
I was hoping there would be a way to just set a max size for all my queues so
that they share the 8GB pool which should solve my problems. Or maybe there is
another way to go about this?
Unfortunately there is no mechanism to do this at present. It would be a
very useful enhancement however.
