codelipenghui edited a comment on issue #3131: Consumer stop receive messages from broker URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/3131#issuecomment-453328896 ### Broker dispatch process: 1. Consumer subscribe to a topic, consumer will send a flow request. 2. By default, broker will read 100 entries from ledger and distribute entries to 2 consumers, one consumer will get 20 entries first(MaxRoundRobinBatchSize = 20), in the test case, every entries has 2000 messages by enable the batching message in producer. 3. MaxUnackMessagesPerConsumer in broker settings is 100 and MaxUnackMessagesPerSubscription is 500. 4. So when broker send messages to the first consumer, dispatcher will be blocked, because 20 entries has 40000 messages. I have two consumers with receive queue size 100, so the dispatcher init available permits is 200, after send 40000 messages to the first consumer, available permits is -39980. 5. Consumer received messages and when call receive time > 50(receive queue size is 100), consumer will send permits request to the broker again, but now consumer is blocked by un-ack messages, so broker do not send any messages to consumer, and consumer will increase `permitsReceivedWhileConsumerBlocked`. 6. While consumer send a redelivery request, dispatcher should release the flow control, but the logic in the consumer, consumer will use min(`permitsReceivedWhileConsumerBlocked`,`totalRedelivery`) to increase the available permits in the dispatcher. I think the problem is here, if totalRedelivery < permitsReceivedWhileConsumerBlocked, consumer is already send flow request, but broker can't release the flow control. When a consumer receive 10000 messages(5 message, batch size is 2000), consumer will send 200 times flow request(50 messages per request), if permitsReceivedWhileConsumerBlocked = 9000, at this time consumer redelivery 2000 messages, dispatcher will use 2000 to increase the available permits. after consumer send the last 1000 messages flow request, dispatcher is until blocked. This is the test log: [stop-consume-broker.log](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/files/2747607/stop-consume-broker.log)
