[jira] [Commented] (AMQ-2629) What the relationship is among "CursorMemoryUsage" and "QueueSize"

Sree Panchajanyam D commented on AMQ-2629:
------------------------------------------

Non-persistent messages are stored in memory before they are sent to consumers. CursoryMemoryUsage indicates the memory(heap) used by non-persistent messages. This is usually capped at 70% of heap space. This is configuration is made in activemq.xml. When the cursory memory usage goes beyond the capped value( say 70% by default) the incoming messages are written to tempstore( a location on disk) and all the messages from memory are flushed to tempstore, here the CursorMemoryUsage becomes 0%. When you hit tempstore the dequeueing and enqueueing slows down because of disk writes. 

When queue size increases CursorMemoryUsage increases till a capped value and then becomes zero . After this enqueue and dequeue operations slow down due to disk writes involved.

> Hi to everybody,  
>   
> In my application, that has 2 fast producers and 1 slow consumer, after some hours of job, where "Queue Size" various among 0 and 1000, "CursorMemoryUsage" it begins to increase him. This phenomenon provokes a deceleration both of "Enqueue" that "Dequeue", and even if they are stopped the producers the speed of "dequeue" it doesn't increase. When "Queue Size" returns to 0, "CursorMemoryUsage" it doesn't decrease.  
>   
> When this phenomenon happens I have seen that also her "Heap Memory Usage" it grows.  
>   
> Do you have some explanation to this phenomenon?  
> What the relationship is among "CursorMemoryUsage" and "QueueSize."  
>   
> Thanks in advance
