Optional non-blocking redelivery
--------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1853
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1853
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0
            Reporter: Demian Mrakovich


When a message is redelivered the consumer blocks for the amount of time 
specified by the redelivery delay. For a high load scenario where message order 
is irrelevant this is just reducing performance and will result in a complete 
halt if the delay is long and several bad messages are consumed in a short 
time. 

I think what I basically wish for is how it worked in versions 3.x, prior to 
fix for AMQ-268. So I would very much like to have configurable option to NOT 
block consumers when redelivering messages. 

If no-one feels up to it, I'd still appreciate some hints and I could try to 
fix it myself. Looking at ActiveMQMessageConsumer.rollback(), I was thinking 
something in the lines of just scheduling a task to put the message back on 
queue after a delay - if configured to, instead of stopping delivery and a 
schedule a task to resume delivery again. But I do not possess an understanding 
of AMQ thorough enough to predict potential side effects of this, so any 
analysis would be helpful.
