> Some QMF methods - for example purge or queueMoveMessages - support filers as one their parameters. The filter allows to specify the messages which should be affected by the methods - e.g. which messages should be purged. Unfortunately, if the broker doesn't recognize the filter, it simply ignores it and uses empty filter instead:
> 2013-11-09 18:15:45 [Broker] error Ignoring unrecognized message filter: '{subject:test}'
> Such behaviour doesn't make sense - if the client who called the QMF method specified the filter, it is obvious that he didn't wanted to apply the method to all messages. Especially with methods like purge, this can lead to severe message loss!
> Therefore if the broker doesn't recognize the filter, it should throw an error and never execute the method.
