[jira] [Commented] (ARTEMIS-201) Log warning if server can crash on OutOfMemory due to "misconfiguration"

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-201?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15725841#comment-15725841 ] 

Jeff Mesnil commented on ARTEMIS-201:
-------------------------------------

I was quite surprised when I saw this warning in our logs: 

16:13:46,785 WARN  [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 64) AMQ222205: OutOfMemoryError possible! There are currently 49 addresses with a total max-size-bytes of 513.802.240 bytes, but the maximum memory available is 477.626.368 bytes.

It sounds scarier that is should be. We should inform the user that memory could be exhausted if messages are not consumed (or not consumed faster than they are produced).
Lowering the messages to INFO might be better too... It sounds more a theoretical problem than an actual issue hitting the server.
And maybe, we could used some units for the bytes with all the space we have on our computers (513MiB or whatever is easier to understand than 513.802.240 bytes :)

> Imagine situation where server is started with 3000 destinations and max-size-bytes is set to 10MB. This would mean that JVM would have to be started with at least 30GB of memory to prevent OOM in case that all destinations get filled up. (PAGE mode is not a solution in this case as it starts once destination exceeds 10MB in memory)
> Purpose of this jira is to provide check which would print warning in case that such OOM can happen. This check would be executed during start of server and then with adding any destination at runtime.
