why it used up all the heap space and hang even I specified memoryUsage limit?

[Li Li]

    I gave 3GB  total heap space of activemq, the XX:NewRatio=2. So
new generation 1GB and old generation 2GB. And I also config
memoryUsage limit="1 gb"


ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_MEMORY="-Xms1G -Xmx3G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -XX:NewRatio=2"
There are only two queues.

<policyEntry queue=">" optimizedDispatch="true"
producerFlowControl="false" cursorMemoryHighWaterMark="70"
memoryLimit="100 mb" />

        <systemUsage>
            <systemUsage>
                <memoryUsage>
                    <memoryUsage limit="1 gb" />
                </memoryUsage>
                <storeUsage>
                    <storeUsage limit="50 gb"/>
                </storeUsage>
                <tempUsage>
                    <tempUsage limit="50 gb"/>
                </tempUsage>
            </systemUsage>
        </systemUsage>
