Broker freezes on peak burst producer persistent message delivery

Expected: throttled messages when tempStorage reaches 100%
Actual: broker hangs and no longer delivers messages and cannot be cleanly shutdown

Configuration:

• /conf/activemq.xml (attached) configuration: memoryUsage: 200MB, storeUsage: 1GB, tempUsage: 400MB
• test configuration (/example/build.xml): max (# of messages): 65000, messageSize: 10000 -> total message size: 65000 * 10000 bytes = 650 MB

Result:

• burst of 65000 messages to queue, initially loads into memory but quickly gets dumped to tempStorage (12% memoryUsage)
• messages persisted in database
• producer throttling does NOT occur, potentially b/c memoryUsage is at 0% in this peak/burst scenario when activmq stops responding
• activemq process hangs at 104% tempUsage, 0% memoryUsage, and can't be shutdown without force kill

commands from standard release examples:
Start amq:
/bin$ ./activemq console

start producer:
ant producer -Ddurable=true -DsleepTime=0

(Bug experienced with higher sleep times also.)

if you want to use consumers:
ant consumer -Durl=tcp://localhost:61616?jms.prefetchPolicy.queuePrefetch=1

• watch memory and disk usage in jconsole

workarounds:

1) no tempUsage storage at all
\conf\activemq.xml -> <tempUsage limit="0 mb"/>

2) try to hide tempUsage
\conf\activemq.xml -> <tempUsage limit="4 gb"/> -> 4 gb being much, much larger than uninterrupted usage will fill
