[jira] [Commented] (QPID-6764) Message age alerting is inappropriate on the enqueue path

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15193356#comment-15193356 ] 

Lorenz Quack commented on QPID-6764:
------------------------------------

* It seems that in the {{NotificationCheck#MESSAGE_AGE_ALERT) has the wrong boolean flags in the constructor (have I mentioned that I do not like boolean flags?)
* On {{AbstractQueue}} there is {{checkForNotification}} and {{performNotificationCheck}}. That is not a useful distinction. However, it seems like {{checkForNotification}} is unused and could be removed.
* {{checkForNotificationOnNewMessage}} and {{performNotificationCheck}} seem to be closely related so we might want to consider naming them similar

> The Java Broker supports number of configurable message/queue alerts such as message size alert (overly large messages), queue depth alert (queues with an unexpected number of message on them), or message age alert (a queue containing a message which is older than a threshold).  These checks are performed in two places: periodically by housekeeping and when a message is enqueued.
> The message age alert check is performed on by housekeeping and on enqueue of a new message.  The latter check is inappropriate and is a waste of resources.  Unlike the other checks, enqueuing a message can't affect the outcome.  It should be performed only be housekeeping.  
> The message age check involves taking a lock on the oldest message - so may have a significant computation overhead.
