Since joining this mailing list (and subsequently snooping around in JIRA) during my evaluation of ActiveMQ 5.2, I've seen a lot of concerning messages about both new and known issues around stability and reliability in ActiveMQ. Namely, I'm concerned about broker downtime/halts, out of memory, failover/HA issues, and filehandle leaks. My initial reaction was of disappointment, however now I'm wondering if commercial vendors (SonicMQ specifially) might have just as many known/new issues, but it's just that ActiveMQ's dirty laundry is more transparently aired in public view due to being an open source community based project.
I would be curious to hear ActiveMQ (and moreover FUSE) developers' opinions on how they see ActiveMQ's stability and reliability to commercial vendors, especially Sonic MQ 6.x or 7.x. I'm mostly interested in comparing the community version to Sonic brokers, but I would be curious where FUSE releases might fit in that spectrum too. Also, as a side, can someone explain why there is FUSE 5.3.0.0 if ActiveMQ 5.3 is not yet released? Additionally jsut more understanding what value-add FUSE brings to the releases themselves (aside from support, etc) and what the relationship between the FUSE and community codelines are would be useful.
