HornetQ 2.2.5 paging directory and large directory are not cleaned

[srazza]

Hi,

we have an HornetQ 2.2.5-Final cluster with two nodes configured as live-backup in a production environment.

We have configured the parameters for paging and large message as described in the following

lines extracted from hornetq-configuration.xml file:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   <address-settings>

      <!--default for catch all-->

      <address-setting match="#">

         <dead-letter-address>jms.queue.DLQ</dead-letter-address>

         <expiry-address>jms.queue.ExpiryQueue</expiry-address>

         <redelivery-delay>0</redelivery-delay>

         <max-size-bytes>1048576000</max-size-bytes>      

         <page-size-bytes>104857600</page-size-bytes>

         <message-counter-history-day-limit>10</message-counter-history-day-limit>

         <address-full-policy>PAGE</address-full-policy>

         <max-delivery-attempts>-1</max-delivery-attempts>

      </address-setting>

   </address-settings>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the element defined in the HornetQ are durable topics.

Our environment is active from about a month and we have noted that the two directories "large-messages" and "paging"

increase continuously the size and the number of files inside them. The strange thing is that the older files are dated as

the first day we activated the environment, so it seems that HornetQ is not cleaning correctly the large or paged message

once consumed.

Is there a way to force the cleaning of these two directory?

How can we prevent the increase of files and size?

I hope you could help me since this could be a serious problem for us.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a test?

you could take a look on print-data / print-pages (maybe take the data and use those tools with the latest version on svn).

There were a few fixes around paging and large messages.. so I'm not sure.. or maybe it's something you're doing there?

Hi Clebert,

we have made some tests with the 2.2.9 version that we have downloaded from your SVN server and compiled.

With this one, the bugs seem to be fixed.

Is there some prevision about when the 2.2.9 Final Standalone will be officially released?

We have HornetQ 2.2.5 on production environment, so we prefer to upgrade once the last versio will be officially released.

Do you plan in future releases to introduce quota to limit the number of messages accepted from HornetQ

on single Topic and Queue? For us this kind of parameter could be very useful.
