I am by no means an authority on this, but I'm not sure the store
usage or temp usage settings are actually used for anything.
I believe you want your memory usage setting to be high enough to hold
all the traffic you expect to be in memory at once. I think this is
e.g. non-persistent messages that have not yet been delivered (regular
in-flight messages, queues that are backed up, topics with durable
subscribers who are away, etc.). There are separate settings that can
be applied to the memory limit for each destination (or wildcard
groups of queues/topics, etc.).
If you set the destination limits high and the system limit low, you
can cause ActiveMQ to start using disk space (as "swap" I guess), but
I hear that's prone to deadlocks and etc. -- plus it doesn't seem
bound by the store/temp usage settings.
If you are up against memory limits (due to slow/disconnected
consumers or whatever), there are various additional considerations
and configuration options you may want to use.
Thanks,
Aaron
