             Summary: Default cursor exceeds allocated memory on broker restart
                 Key: AMQ-5202
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5202
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.9.1, 5.9.0
         Environment: Linux, OSX
            Reporter: Jakub Korab


This seems to be related to solution that was implemented in AMQ-4495.

Background:
Publishing to queue:one at a high rate (loop, 10 producers), no consumers
Publishing to queue:two at a low rate (2 msg/s), 1 consumer

When using a fresh broker (no data directory) with LevelDB/KahaDB:
Memory usage + cursor usage rise together on queue:one until they hit 69%; this corresponds to disk usage of 90mb (69% of tempUsage - under 70% default memory watermark for the cursor);
queue:one keeps accepting messages.
queue:two keeps accepting messages, and handing them off to the consumer
This is reached when ~10000 * 4kb messages are sent. All OK so far.

Issue:
Restart the broker.
Memory usage + cursor usage rise together very slowly on queue:one until they hit 70% (default policyEntry@cursorMemoryHighWaterMark)
queue:one keeps accepting messages.
queue:two keeps accepting messages, but _stops handing them off to the consumer_

It doesn't matter whether the number of messages in the store is under or over the cursor watermark when the broker is restarted - the cursor usage hits the limit and the messages stop flowing.

Consuming some messages from queue:one at this point will free up space up on the cursor, and messages start flowing through to the queue:two consumers. The cursor will eventually hit the watermark again and the consumers will again block, so it is not a self-healing issue.
