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

             Summary: Bug in ConcurrentLinkedQueue leads to excessive CPU-consumption by ActiveMQ process
                 Key: AMQ-5337
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5337
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.10.0, 5.9.1, 5.9.0
         Environment: Linux Ubuntu
            Reporter: Wawan


The AdvisoryBroker use a ConcurrentLinkedQueue to store consumers.
This standard JDK class has a bug which can lead to an OutOfMemory : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054446

In our environment we observe that ActiveMQ process cpu usage is continually climbing and that the ConcurrentLinkedQueue in the AdvisoryBroker grows indefinitely.

The ConcurrentLinkedQueue is a non-blocking concurrent FIFO datastructure provided by the core Java Development Kit API starting from Java 5. 
AdvisoryBroker use offer() method to add a new consumer in the ConcurrentLinkedQueue, and remove() method to remove it.
When the consumer removed is the last element of the queue, the Consumer object is nulled but a node remain in the queue. The null node is then never garbage collected. This is true only for the last element of the queue. Any other element is removed safely.
