Hi,

Back to 5.3.0, I tried changing the Queue to a Durable Topic.

     Producer - > Durable Topic - > Server - > Durable Topic - >
Consumer

"Tenured Gen" is no longer a memory heap option shown by jconsole.
Instead the "PS Old Gen" Memory Pool is increasing, basically in
a linear manner, with a couple of short drops, but continuously
increasing over time.

Looking at the Admin Web Page, it shows Enqueues, but no Dequeues

Topics
Name                   Number Of Consumers  Messages Enqueued  Messages
Dequeued  Operations
notification.producer  1                    385428             0
Send To Delete
notification.consumer  1                    384640             0
Send To Delete

The Durable Topic Subscriber counters show

     Dispatched = Enqueue = Dequeue

Why are there no Dequeues for the Topics?  What does this mean?


Thanks,

Peter P

Hi,

Even with ActiveMQ 5.3.1, I see the Heap Memory Usage creeping up
over time (albeit sawtooth).    It's now committed 58MB of 63 MB max.

The MBeans show

     Queue
        CursorMemoryUsage = 0
        DequeueCount = 46886
        Dispatched Count = 46886
        Enqueue Count = 46886
        Queue Size = 0

     Subscription Durable Topic
        DequeueCounter = 1002
        Dispatched Counter = 1002
        Enqueue Counter = 1002
        Dispatched Queue Size = 0
	
     Subscription Non-Durable Queue
        DequeueCounter = 47331
        Dispatched Counter = 48002
        Enqueue Counter = 48002
        Dispatched Queue Size = 671

     Topic
        DequeueCount = 0
        Dispatched Count = 48825
        Enqueue Count = 48868
        Queue Size = 0

The Subscription Durable Topic keeps disappearing and reappearing
because the client in the unit tests disconnects and reconnects
after running each test, sometimes sending one message, sometimes
sending as many as 1000.  That's why the count is so small for the
Subscription Durable Topic.

I'm concerned that the Subscription of the Queue is showing up as
Non Durable.  Using activemq-cpp, the server subscribes for the queue
using

     consumer = session->createConsumer()

I would have liked to have created it using

     consumer = session->createDurableConsumer()

however, that method only has support for a Topic, not a Queue

     dynamic_cast<Topic *>(destination)

Could this be contributing to the growing memory?
Persistent messages are being sent.

Hi Rob,

One more thing I noticed, is that QueueSize of the Top Level Topic
(the one created by server's createTopic() I believe) always grows
with the Enqueue Count.

     Topic Attributes
     DequeueCount = 0
     DispatchCount = 1004
     EnqueueCount = 1003
     QueueSize = 1003
	
I just loaded 5.3.1

     INFO | ActiveMQ 5.3.1 JMS Message Broker (amq-broker) is starting

and this behavior is different.  The Queue Size now remains zero

     DequeueCount = 0
     DispatchCount = 4244
     EnqueueCount = 4247
     QueueSize = 0

So I'm hopeful.  I'll let the tests run for a while....

Thanks!

Peter P

Hi Peter,

cursors are used by persistent messages too. The error about paged in
messages in the jira issue is a bit of a red herring - but I did see
similar behaviour to what you describe when before I resolved that issue

cheers,

Rob
