Rob Davies commented on AMQ-1490:
---------------------------------

There's additional fixes here by SVN revision 600891
If there isn't enough memory for the broker to finish a transaction the broker will block - so if you see producers pause this is the likely reason

> For some time now there have been various bug reports about ActiveMQ "blocking", "not receiving messages", "running into a deadlock" etc. Since I encoutered such deadlocks now and then, too, I eventually wrote up a JUnit testing scenario for this stuff. I found out that deadlocks can be quite easily reproduced. The symptoms are that the producer thread is sending or committing while the consumer thread is receiving or committing - and none of them can advance. One of the threads is always stuck in a blocking queue.
> Here's a sample output of my testing class:
>  An ActiveMQ deadlock has been discovered. The following threads seem to be involved:
>  Thread "producer" is inactive since 16 seconds after 358719 status changes. The current status is COMMITTING

> The following factors seem to increase the probability of a deadlock:
> * small values for memoryUsage
> * working transacted in the consumer (not always necessary but "helps")
> * many messages in the persistence store (to be achieved via a long delay before the consumer starts to read messages)
