William Henry commented on QPID-1290:
-------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that this functionality move messages from the head of the
queue. i..e move qty number of messages from the head of src_queue to
dest_queue.
> Add ability to move messages from one queue to another

> Key: QPID-1290
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1290
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++ Broker
> Reporter: William Henry
> Fix For: M4

>
> There are some administrative use cases where it is necessary to move
> messages off of one queue and place on another. Perhaps the initial queue has
> some bad messages that need to be examined, perhaps the initial queue is
> getting inundated.
> The changes have been made to the Broker and Queue class.
> With Broker you can call queueMoveMessages and pass the name of the source
> queue and the destination queue along with the quantity of messages to be
> moved. A 0 (zero) for the message quantity means move all messages.
> The Broker::queueMoveMessages looks up the queue pointers and calls move on
> the source Queue, passing the destination queue pointer and the quantity.
> (The Queue class has move efficient private methods for handling removing the
> messages.)
> Move will return the number of messages actually used. Unfortunately
> queueMoveMessages returns a status and this quantity actually moved is lost.
> This enhancement allows an administrator to move messages form one queue to
> another using qpid-tool using:
> call <broker-ID> queueMoveMessages <src-queue> <dest-queue> <qty>
> This works fine.
> Questions:
> 1) Is the schema name queueMoveMessages too long?
> 2) Perhaps it would be nice to return the quantity instead of just STATUS_OK
> but that might mess up the framework. Mayeb have an extra out parameter that
> has the actually quantity moved?
