64 kilobyte messages not dequeued immediately when messageConsumer.receive is 
called
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-1769
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1769
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java Client
    Affects Versions: M4
         Environment: Redhat
            Reporter: Jeff Stein


I'm running into a bug where, when I send messages 64 kilobytes long via a JMS 
producer, and retrieve them via a JMS consumer, it appears they are not 
dequeued until much later (even though the consumer is somehow still reading 
the messages).  It is probably dequeueing finally when connection.close() or 
ctx.close() is called.  I've concluded this is the situation, because:

(A) The message number that overflows the queue is the same as the queue size 
divided by the message size (i.e., all the messages are still in the queue when 
the overflow happens).

(B) The qpid-queue-stats program shows no dequeueing occuring.

(C) When I make a simple consumer to run against the 64k message producer, it 
receives the messages, despite no actual dequeueing occuring in the queue.  The 
last thing it does is hang on messageConsumer.receive(), and the read messages 
are never dequeued.

(D) When I modify the simple consumer from (C) to timeout after 30 seconds 
(messageConsumer.receive(30000)), and it reaches the end of the program by 
timing out, the dequeues occurs all at once suddenly.

(E) This occurs even when I take it down to about 50 messages per second--no 
dequeueing occurs until after the timeout mentioned in (D).

This has the effect of causing my queue to fill up.  Note that I do not have 
this problem when sending messages that are 32 kilobytes long and 
smaller--messages dequeue normally at those sizes.

I tried to replicate this behavior in the Python client, but that seemed to 
work without any problems.

Note that I am running against the C++ broker and my queue size limit is 100 
megabytes.

-------------------------
You can see this behavior by modifying the direct Producer/Consumer example for 
JMS like so:

Modifying the Producer:

1) Set numMessages to 2000 instead of 10, so that we reach the queue capacity 
(assuming 100 Megabytes maximum in the queue).

2) Add this private method:

private String makeString(int length) {
        String r = "r";
        for (int i=0;i<length;i++) {
                r+="r";
        }
        return r;
}

3) Add this line to the first line of the runTest() function:

String bigString = makeString(65536);

4) Change this line in the runTest() function...

message = session.createTextMessage("Message " + i);

...to this:

message = session.createTextMessage("Message " + i + bigString);

Modifying the Consumer:

1) Change this line in runTest()...

System.out.println(CLASS + ": Received message: " + text);

...to this:

System.out.println(CLASS + ": Received message: " + text.substring(0,20));

This last step is so that your console output doesn't get flooded with those 
"r" characters that compose most of the message.
