-----------------------------------

Calling  
connectionFactory.setProducerWindowSize() 
With sizes varying from 10k to 10Mb has no effect on the throughput i can 
attain. All stack traces i take of the producer catch it in code like:

My understanding of flow control & the producer window size: 

Client side: 
- window size is set.
- Before each send, current size of all messages in flight is checked to see if 
window is exceeded. 
- if producerWindow.waitForSpace() doesn't block, then the message is sent. 
- After the message is sent, the producer in flight size is incremented by the 
message size (and decremented when the ack is received). 

Broker side:
- Each queue has a memory limit set, as well as overall memory limit and disk 
store limit. 
- For each message dispatched for a given queue, each of these limits is 
checked. 
- if any limit is set and sendFailIfNoSpace is set to true, the producer should 
get an exception sent back. 

In none of my tests have i caught any thread stuck inside the flow control 
handling logic. In all cases they're inside network code - producer side as 
above, broker side in something like:

I think we're exhausting TCP level message in flight limits long before 
producer flow control or window sizes become relevant. We can't take advantage 
a lot of the higher level settings like async sends, producer message windows 
or async writes to the diskstore, because on the broker side, all the overhead 
associated with persisting messages to a queue is done on the NIO worker 
thread, which quickly becomes the blocking factor. 
Are there any options that i'm missing, to take more of the work done off the 
NIO threads?

>             Project: ActiveMQ
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: Message Store
>    Affects Versions: 5.9.0
>         Environment: 5.9.0.redhat-610343
>            Reporter: Jason Shepherd
>            Assignee: Gary Tully
>         Attachments: Test combinations.xlsx, compDesPerf.tar.gz, 
> topicRouting.zip

>
> We have publishers publishing to a topic which has 5 topic -> queue routings, 
> and gets a max message rate attainable of ~833 messages/sec, with each 
> message around 5k in size.
> To test this i set up a JMS config with topic queues:
> Topic
> TopicRouted.1
> ...
> TopicRouted.11
> Each topic has an increasing number of routings to queues, and a client is 
> set up to subscribe to all the queues.
> Rough message rates:
> routings messages/sec
> 0 2500
> 1 1428
> 2 2000
> 3 1428
> 4 1111
> 5 833
> This occurs whether the broker config has producerFlowControl="false" set to 
> true or false , and KahaDB disk synching is turned off. We also tried 
> experimenting with concurrentStoreAndDispatch, but that didn't seem to help. 
> LevelDB didn't give any notable performance improvement either.
> We also have asyncSend enabled on the producer, and have a requirement to use 
> persistent messages. We have also experimented with sending messages in a 
> transaction, but that hasn't really helped.
> It seems like producer throughput rate across all queue destinations, all 
> connections and all publisher machines is limited by something on the broker, 
> through a mechanism which is not producer flow control. I think the prime 
> suspect is still contention on the index.
> We did some test with Yourkit profiler.
> Profiler was attached to broker at startup, allowed to run and then a topic 
> publisher was started, routing to 5 queues. 
> Profiler statistics were reset, the publisher allowed to run for 60 seconds, 
> and then profiling snapshot was taken. During that time, ~9600 messages were 
> logged as being sent for a rate of ~160/sec.
> This ties in roughly with the invocation counts recorded in the snapshot (i 
> think) - ~43k calls. 
> From what i can work out, in the snapshot (filtering everything but 
> org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb), 
> For the 60 second sample period, 
> 24.8 seconds elapsed in 
> org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.KahaDbTransactionStore$1.removeAsyncMessage(ConnectionContext,
>  MessageAck).
> 18.3 seconds elapsed in 
> org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.KahaDbTransactionStore$1.asyncAddQueueMessage(ConnectionContext,
>  Message, boolean).
> From these, a further large portion of the time is spent inside 
> MessageDatabase:
> org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.MessageDatabase.process(KahaRemoveMessageCommand,
>  Location) - 10 secs elapsed
> org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.MessageDatabase.process(KahaAddMessageCommand,
>  Location) - 8.5 secs elapsed.
> As both of these lock on indexLock.writeLock(), and both take place on the 
> NIO transport threads, i think this accounts for at least some of the message 
> throughput limits. As messages are added and removed from the index one by 
> one, regardless of sync type settings, this adds a fair amount of overhead. 
> While we're not synchronising on writes to disk, we are performing work on 
> the NIO worker thread which can block on locks, and could account for the 
> behaviour we've seen client side. 
> To Reproduce:
> 1. Install a broker and use the attached configuration.
> 2. Use the 5.8.0 example ant script to consume from the queues, 
> TopicQueueRouted.1 - 5. eg:
>    ant consumer -Durl=tcp://localhost:61616 -Dsubject=TopicQueueRouted.1 
> -Duser=admin -Dpassword=admin -Dmax=-1
> 3. Use the modified version of 5.8.0 example ant script (attached) to send 
> messages to topics, TopicRouted.1 - 5, eg:
>    ant producer 
> -Durl='tcp://localhost:61616?jms.useAsyncSend=true&wireFormat.tightEncodingEnabled=false&keepAlive=true&wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=60000&socketBufferSize=32768'
>  -Dsubject=TopicRouted.1 -Duser=admin -Dpassword=admin -Dmax=1 -Dtopic=true 
> -DsleepTime=0 -Dmax=10000 -DmessageSize=5000
> This modified version of the script prints the number of messages per second 
> and prints it to the console.
