We have the issue that our journals at a customer are very large. We
analyzed the messages in the system and found that most of the time
the normal queues stay at a very low number of messages near to 0. The
only queues that hold messages for longer periods of time are the dead
letter queues.
The journals are much bigger than the dead letter queue contents.
My assumption is that most of the journals only contain very few still
needed messages and the ones they contain are the messages that now are
in the dead letter queues.
Still the journals can not be cleaned up of course.
So what I would like to to is to use one kahadb for the regular queues
and a different one for the dead letter queues. Does that make sense?
I will try to do this using "Multi(m) kahaDB persistence adapter": See
http://activemq.apache.org/kahadb.html
I also wonder if it would make sense that ActiveMQ cleans up its
journals regularly. It could simply move all oldest messages to the
newest jorunal to kind of pack if denser.
Would that work?
