[jira] [Created] (AMQ-7010) No space left on device leading to broker shutdown even if ignored

Laurent Chiarello created AMQ-7010:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: No space left on device leading to broker shutdown even if ignored
                 Key: AMQ-7010
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7010
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KahaDB
    Affects Versions: 5.15.3, 5.15.2, 5.15.1, 5.15.0
            Reporter: Laurent Chiarello
         Attachments: activemq_logs.txt

Recently, we upgraded our ActiveMQ instance from {{5.13.2}} to {{5.15.3}}. We basically use an almost default broker setup with KahaDB. Due to our setup, we occasionally run into {{java.io.IOException: No space left on device}}, which until now was fine since the broker would properly ignore them using the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}}, and resume its work once space is available again.

After upgrading to {{5.15.3}}, however, we noticed that the broker would actually stop itself following a _no space left_ exception. Digging a little bit, it seems that the change in behavior can be linked to a fix introduced in the {{5.15.0}} release, see AMQ-6625. With this fix, KahaDB would sometimes throw the following exception: {{java.io.IOException: Async Writer Thread Shutdown}} from its {{DataFileAppender}}, which, unfortunately, is not handled by the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}} unless {{ignoreAllErrors}} is set to true.

This would basically mean that the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}} has become useless in catching only _no space left_ exceptions, which I do not think is the intended behavior. 
h3. How to reproduce
 # Start a broker with default config on a small partition
 # Send a persistent message with web console to any queue
 # Fill the partition by any mean
 # Send more messages with web console, broker is eventually shut down

See the attached broker logs.
