Question

I am an ActiveMQ / Camel noob with a specific scenario in mind, I wonder firstly if it is possible and secondly whether someone might provide a little direction.

Basically I need to perform dynamic throttling off the queue. I.E the ability to set at runtime the rate a particular group of messages will be consumed from the queue.

So I might, for example, add a group of messages that are to be consumed at 10 per second, another group which should be consumed at 1 per second and so forth.

I know the basics of setting up routes in camel and message grouping onto the queue etc, but just can’t figure this out from the docs.

Answer 1

Yeah looks like you are looking for broker side throtteling to avoid consumers to block.

Have you raised your request at the ActiveMQ user/dev forum?
