Hi Matteo, in this comment you are talking about an issue you saw when WQ is greater that AQ https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/2497#issuecomment-734423246
IIUC you are saying that if one bookie is slow the client continues to accumulate references to the entries that still have not received the confirmation from it. I think that this is correct. Have you seen problems in production related to this scenario ? Can you tell more about them ? Regards Enrico
