in case of selectorAware=true and consumer down, what happens to those messages? are they discarded? Is there anything sent to one of the advisories? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I guess, only if we keep downtimes short enough so 'matched' messages don't expire and big enough maxPageSize or something to keep matched messages consumed.

Does anyone know if this (i.e. AMQ-3004) is going to be worked on in the near future?

Message expiry may help in the short term, set a time to live on the
messages such that the built up unmatched messages expire and are

All,

amq 5.4.0. jdk 1.6

Scenario:
broker persistence=true, selectorAware=false
Virtual Topic with say one queue. There is a consumer A connected to that queue with a selector. All works fine. Consumer A dies, messages pile up, consumer A starts back up, missed messages are redelivered. You can easily verify that queue receives all posted messages while consumer's down. Now, adding consumer B, since selectorAware=false and consumer B uses an exclusive selector messages sent to consumer A are not consumed by consumer B. All good save the fact that all unmatched messages end up polluting
consumer's B queue. All according to the documentation.
Flipping selectorAware to true solves one problem but introduces another (way more important in my setup). Unmatched messages won't pile up on consumer's B queue which is fine. However, if consumer A dies they are not sent to consumer's A queue (disappearing after reaching the topic - I dunno where they go) hence disabling any missed message delivery on consumer's A
startup.

I there any way around it? I really need to handle all missed messages with no exception. At the same time I cannot allow stacking up messages in each
and every queue although they are not matched.

Btw. I do not have a list of consumers in advance, the subscription is fully dynamic, although since broker runs persistence, once subscribed I do have
an idea of who's subscribed even if connection is currently down.

I would appreciate any hints.
