I am stress testing activemq 5.9.0 by sending a flood of non-persistent
messages to a topic using jmeter.
My producers are 50 threads attempting to deliver 1000 msgs/sec; each of
size 1K. There is merely a 1 millisecond delay in between message sends.
There are 100 consumers on the topic. It runs fine for 10-20 seconds or so,
then I see the consumer stop working and "GC overhead limit exceeded" errors
appear in the consumer's console (Weirdly, monitoring the gc via visualvm
it does not seem like a massive gc event...). Looking at the heap dump from
the consumer client I see a large number of ActiveMQObjectMessage instances,
owned by the GC root ActiveMDSessionExecutor.messageQueue().
Is the consumer message dispatching simply falling badly behind incoming
message flow? Can I tune the consumer somehow to compensate? Or is this
just the expected failure mode for this scenario?
Thanks for any insights.
Sample output from the consumers:
