Hi, I’m using ActiveMQ 5.3 with KahaDB. Two brokers are in a network with failover. Publishers are sending messages to a composite destination that forwards to a topic or a queue. It works ok with topics but with queues after a while there is accumulation of db-xxx.log files in the data/kahadb directory.
Files will be several days old despite the fact that all messages have a one-day time to live. Dead letter strategy is individualDeadLetterStrategy with processExpired="false" so I do not expect expired messages to stay around in any form. Purging queues using admin console does not get rid of these files. The only way I found to clean it up was to stop the broker and clean up the whole data directory. I could reproduce this problem in a test setup by starting/stopping brokers, publishers and subscribers. Older data/kahadb/db-X.log files are normally getting deleted but some are not, see below. In these tests time-to-live on all messages was 10 minutes so this should not be happening. See directory lists below. With a single broker I could not reproduce that same problem. Older db-X.log files were always eventually getting cleaned up. However I noticed that db.data file can grow. It reached 360M while it normally stays below 34M. Any suggestion how to prevent growth of files in the data/kahadb directory?
