[rabbitmq-discuss] flow control in rabbitmq

Thu Jan 2 06:40:00 GMT 2014

Hi ,

I have used single rabbitmq node , And I set  memory_high_watermark to a 
small value(0.05)
and messages are being sent to the rabbitmq node at a higher rate.
When memory is about to be breached because of higher rate of messages to 
the node creation of .rdq files is observed.
when the memory consumtion crosses the limit all connections to the node 
getting blocked is observed.
At this point of time there is neither increase in queue size nor .rdq 
size, but publish to queue statemt is getting executed.

Questions are :

where are the published messages are getting store when connections to 
queue are in blocked state

how to handle this kind of scenario gracefully
