[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq with one producer no consumer

[Ovidiu Deac]

We are testing a rabbitmq intalation to see how it behaves if there is
no consumer while the producer publishes messages. The point of the
test is to see what we can rely on if somehow our consumer processes
die.

In order to do this we send persistent messages with a 300bytes
content in a loop and after 200k messages rabbitmq uses 100% processor
and is unreachable. The memory usage on the machine is only 27%. Even
when restarting the broker it won't start anymore.

Any ideas how I can tune rabbitmq to deal with this situation?

Thanks,
Ovidiu
