Expiry of messages in activemq

[agujral <an...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,
         I want to understand how activemq handles expiry of messages, is
there a seperate thread which checks asynchronously  if message has expired.

thanks
Anurag

Since version 5.4.0 there is an expiry task that by default will expire
messages every 30 sec. Take a look at this thread
http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/periodic-message-expiry-task-td2385521.html
and
related Jiras.

Does this means  that if we have lot of messages with expiry and somehow
consumer is not able to process them then they will remain and will not be
removed,the expired messages will continue to use disk space .

How do people handle this in practice since it can be possible that producer
is generating lot of messages which consumer is not able to process , by
design we want to expired the old messages and remove them from the
queue.Should we have a consumer which remove those messages.

No.  They get expired the next time someone asks for a message from that
queue.  So if you have a lot of messages which expired, the client is
going to be waiting for some time to get its first message while the
expired ones are taken out of the queue.
