[jira] [Commented] (QPID-7472) [Java Broker, BDBStore] Removal of large number of messages on broker startup does not free the disk space occupied by empty BDB log files left after message removal when overfull/undefull threasholds are not set

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7472?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15611999#comment-15611999 ] 

Keith Wall commented on QPID-7472:
----------------------------------

We said:

* After synchronous recovery, which may purge transient messages that have flowed to disk, we should force a BDB cleanLog to ensure that disk utilisation shrinks in a timely way.

> BDB Message store needs a mechanism to force cleanup of empty log files after removal of large number of messages. When flow is blocked due to exceeding of disk space utilization(by default 90%), the message removal might not help to free the disk space when underfull size and store overfull size are not set.
> In my test scenario I published transient messages which were flown to disk until disk space was consumed and flow got blocked. Then, I restarted the Broker. Flown to disk transient messages were deleted on Broker restart, but store did not shrink in size as no bdb log file was deleted. I could not publish any new message as producer flow was blocked. There was nothing to consume either as there was no persistent messages published before. As result, broker ended-up in unusable state. The following broker shutdown  cleaned the disk space due to store cleanup being forced on message store close.
