Prior to release 1.9.0 of the router multicast messages would be dropped without notification when under load. This relates to the issue you're experiencing now I believe. In 1.9.0 we fixed this via https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1266 Previously multicast messages were marked a pre-settled on entry to the router and an "accepted" status was returned to the sender _before_ the multicast was forwarded at all. Since the message was marked pre-settled the router mesh will be more likely to drop it should congestion occur. (Note this not the case with unsettled anycast messages - the router will send a "release" status should the message need be discarded). This auto-settle behavior was undesirable for a number of reasons as you can imagine, so in 1.9.0 we changed the behavior of multicast deliveries: *unsettled* messages sent to multicast addresses are no longer pre-settled by the router. The router will send back the final acknowledgement (accepted, release, etc) once all *present* subscribers for the multicast address return acknowledgements. The behavior of pre-settled multicast did not change. So you can probably restore the original behavior by reverted back to a pre-1.9.0 release, however be aware that even then there's no guarantee the message will be dropped. In fact it's _more_ likely to be dropped (and signalled as accepted) in pre-1.9.0 releases. > For information we're asking for a quick workaround because we're facing > this problem on a client production environment... > > Thanks, > Olivier > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Giusti <kgiu...@redhat.com> > Sent: mardi 29 octobre 2019 18:07 > To: users <users@qpid.apache.org> > Subject: Re: multicast without consumers > > On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 11:54 AM jeremy <jeremyao...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello Gordon, > > > > We debugged the dispatch router, and fell on the code which releases > > undeliverable messages( > > https://github.com/apache/qpid-dispatch/blob/1.5.0/src/router_core/tra > > nsfer.c#L869 > > ). > > > > Check the comment on line 879.
