[rabbitmq-discuss] Java client deadlock closing channel/connection

Wed Aug 22 19:36:07 BST 2012

Hi folks,

My java client is hitting a deadlock closing a channel or a connection. I 
have also noticed that it hangs when deleting a queue as well. I have 
noticed this error when the server has a large number of connections. When 
I reboot the error goes away for some time and then appears again. In the 
rabbitmq management webpage I see a memory warning

Memory usage is 2.3GB where the high watermark is 1.5 GB.
"The memory alarm for this node has gone off. It will block incoming 
network traffic until the memory usage drops below the watermark. ". 

Why is the memory usage above the watermark? From what I have read RabbitMQ 
moves the messages to disk and scales that way without using more memory.

Here is the status of my server
