[rabbitmq-discuss] memory overflow behavior

[Dmitriy Stolyarov]

Did a test with posting messages to a queue that no one is reading from, 
far beyond the high memory watermark. The behavior at that point for rabbit 
was to start moving queue contents to disk, throttling the producer and 
keeping the memory usage in a good shape. However when a client finally 
tried to connect to read from the queue, it looked like the rabbit node 
tried to load everything that was offloaded to disk back to memory at the 
same time, before starting to serve the client. Could this be done as an 
incremental process?
