[jira] [Commented] (AMQ-7077) Queue subscriber view slowConsumer flag set in error

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16651788#comment-16651788 ] 

Gary Tully commented on AMQ-7077:
---------------------------------

If the abortSlowAck policy is responsible for setting the flag, it can also fire the advisory. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6421

> For queue subscribers, the broker dispatches prefetch num messages and stops. The subscription is considered full.
> There is currently logic in PrefetchSubscription that flags the consumer as slow on the success full dispatch of the last message in a prefetch batch. this flag remains set till there are more messages to dispatch, which happens on the first ack.
> The consumer is considered slow, till it acks (which seems wrong) and in the case that there are no more message to dispatch, it remains slow.
>  
> Interestingly, there are some tests for this functionality that only validate topics in error.
>  
> From my investigation, it seems that for queue consumers, it is really only possible to gauge slowness due to the frequency of acks, which is what the AbortAckSlowConsumerPolicy does.
> It makes sense that that code flags a consumer as slow once it is detected as such.
