I am facing the similar problem. Whenever my consumer goes down and there is a data back log the production rate goes down significantly. Moreover when my consumer is up again , the production rate goes down again and this cycle goes on. Some Info : I am using Producer flow control = FALSE , AsyncSend(true) , persistence = true and ConcurrentQueueStoreAndDispatch = true As i read in this post about cursors so i am using the default store cursor.
Here is snippet from broker.xml destinationPolicy> <policyMap> <policyEntries> <policyEntry topic=">" optimizedDispatch="true" memoryLimit="1gb" producerFlowControl="false" /> <policyEntry queue=">" optimizedDispatch="true" memoryLimit="1gb" producerFlowControl="false" /> </policyEntries> </policyMap> </destinationPolicy> <systemUsage> <systemUsage sendFailIfNoSpace="true"> <memoryUsage> <memoryUsage limit="20 gb" /> </memoryUsage> <storeUsage> <storeUsage limit="500 gb" name="foo" /> </storeUsage> <tempUsage> <tempUsage limit="1 gb" /> </tempUsage> </systemUsage> </systemUsage> I am using all the optimizations(i read from http://fusesource.com/docs/broker/5.4/tuning/index.html ) for producer , consumer and broker. These optimizations are able to increase message production rate a bit but the main issue is the stability of the production rate.(why it goes down 10 times and then keep on going down with every time consumers goes down or goes up again). I am trying to figure out the cause but unable to pinpoint the code in activeMQ which is causing this issue. When i saw threads state in jconsole i found out that as soon as consumer start running , producer thread goes into wait state ( State: WAITING on java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer ).I understand the queue these producers write to is blocking queue.But i don't understand why consumers are affecting producers while flow control is off and my store size is 500 GB and memory is 20GB .Why not producers are producing at a constant rate until my KahaDB store is full. I really need help in this matter and deeply appreciate any help from you guys. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Backlog-data-causes-producers-to-slow-down-tp3806018p4217057.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
