Large Messages (files) not being deleted

[molezam]

I am using large messages sucessfully on sender and consumer.

However, the data/large-messages keeps growing and *.msg files accumulating.

I am ack the messages when I receive (even though I am using auto-ack on send).

What reason would cause these *.msg files not being deleted?

How much time after the large message is received and ack should I expect the *.mgs files to be deleted?

I am concern that our server will run out of disk space and crash (deleting the files manually is not a viable option).

Any clues tips on this process?

Hi Moleza

I presume that you are using version 2.1.0.Final?

I am using that version with large messages and everything is working as it should. If you would include your hornetq-jms.xml and hornetq-configuration.xml files then we can help.

You're probably doing something wrong on ACK.

BTW: ack is on consume... don't know if you confused terms or that's part of the problem.

I think I found an easy way to repeat this problem.

If you send a large message to an address that is not bound to any queue, the large message does not get deleted.

According to the intended functionality: a message send to an address not bound to any queue should simply disapear (which also implies deleted from disk).

I had an address (not bound to any queue) that was diverting to 3 other queues.

The large message was being consumed on all 3 queues but not deleted from disk.

I worked around by sending the original message to the address bound to the first queue (out of 3) (and divert from that one to the other 2) and now the messages get deleted.

I hope this helps someone...and I hope that I am not giving wrong info.

Cheers
