[rabbitmq-discuss] flow control threshold

Tue Mar 5 15:32:19 GMT 2013

Hi Simon, 

sorry to answering late, 
yes, it's a very strange thing, i have to admit that i'm lost.. 

it`s happen only with this queue... a network issue could be the source of the problem? may be due to the high volume of data ? 
the problem occur also without having the connection in state: flow. (the pid of the script is in state running) and we have nothing in logs.. 

the last time (friday), i restarted the rabbitmq server (i restarted the server because its was not possible to stop the rabbitmq process..) and it back working. 
i use an older library for php: amqp-0.2.2 , may be something in relation with? 

about the script, i have to clean it before ;) 

Cheers, 
Gilles Danycan

The flow control should only be restricting the rate at which you can 
publish into a queue to the rate at which the queue can accept messages 
- in other words it should only ever slow publishing down, and not by 
too much. 

If you have seen it block publishing altogether that would be a serious 
bug. Can you post your script somewhere? 

Cheers, Simon
