There is one more aspect that I don't understand. My queue InFlightCount value vary about 6000. One moment it's exactly 6000, another moment it's 6012 and so on (but never <6000). So new messages are acknowledged correctly, but there is 6K messages that were not commited by consumer, I guess.
We have 2 options here. First of all maybe these 6K messages were dispatched to another consumer (and acknowledged), so InFlightCount must be equals zero. Second option is that these 6K messages are not dispatched to another consumer and hang up somewhere. Where is truth? P.S. Browse method on queue (via JMX console) says that queue doesn't have messages.
