[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (AMQ-3755) receiveNoWait blocked on same mutex as sending threads

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3755?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13223149#comment-13223149 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

We had a hunch we had to move to a multiple VMTransport implementation, however, I have some follow-up questions:

>From the documentation it is not clear what the limitations of the VMTransport exactly are, it talks about a JMS Client, but that is a bit of a vague notion inside the same JVM. It seems, one of the effects of this limitation is that the receiveNoWait call will start blocking, which is not obvious from the documentation.

Furthermore, if we move to multiple VMTransports, will the backed up broker be able to continue without blocking or will the bottleneck then surface inside the broker?

It will take some time to get this modified and get it deployed in our production environment.

> We have a server processing requests with an internal broker, connected with a vm transport. At a certain load and a high number of clients (approx. 350 clients) we see our server congested towards the internal VM broker. By looking at the stacktraces, it seems the incoming reading thread is waiting for a lock obtained by one of several other threads. This resulted in a short period (around 20-30 seconds) of very sluggish response times towards our clients. Response times of _any_ request through ActiveMQ go from a normal <50ms response time towards 2 seconds.
> Below is an extract of a stackdump while this happened. The first stacktrace is the thread trying to read incoming messages with a receiveNoWait, but it is blocked by the first thread, which the second thread owns. The third and fourth are two other processes, all waiting for the same mutex. These four processes are - from our server's perspective - not related to each other:

> My question is: why is the receiving of messages blocked by the other threads and why do they share a single mutex? Is there anything I can do to alleviate this problem?
