[rabbitmq-discuss] Rabbitmq 2.5-2.6.1 java hanging on close of connection

[Sankalp Acharya]

Incidentally, we figured out what the problem is.

It seems that when the watermark checking was added in RabbitMQ 2.8.1, 
there was a feature that was added that basically blocks all currently-open 
connections until the watermark thresholds are cleared. What was happening 
on our build servers is that the test instance of RabbitMQ was just barely 
crossing the disk watermark threshold to where the MQ server started 
blocking connections. This would happen intermittently, depending on which 
side of the watermark the free disk space was at.

It seems that the connection blocking, in turn, *also* blocks close 
requests from being ack'd! This certainly seems like a bug to me – I'm not 
sure why the server should deny already-connected clients the ability to 
close their connections.

At any rate, I wanted to post to this thread in case anyone else ran into 
this error.
