This reverts commit dbb3a90fe6.
The org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.Queue#getRate method is for
slow-consumer detection and is designed for internal use only.
Furthermore, it's too opaque to be trusted by a remote user as it only
returns the number of message added to the queue since *the last time
it was called*. The problem here is that the user calling it doesn't
know when it was invoked last. Therefore, they could be getting the
rate of messages added for the last 5 minutes or the last 5
milliseconds. This can lead to inconsistent and misleading results.
There are three main ways for users to track rates of message
production and consumption:
1. Use a metrics plugin. This is the most feature-rich and flexible
way to track broker metrics, although it requires tools (e.g.
Prometheus) to store the metrics and display them (e.g. Grafana).
2. Invoke the getMessageCount() and getMessagesAdded() management
methods and store the returned values along with the time they were
retrieved. A time-series database is a great tool for this job. This is
exactly what tools like Prometheus do. That data can then be used to
create informative graphs, etc. using tools like Grafana. Of course, one
can skip all the tools and just do some simple math to calculate rates
based on the last time the counts were retrieved.
3. Use the broker's message counters. Message counters are the broker's
simple way of providing historical information about the queue. They
provide similar results to the previous solutions, but with less
flexibility since they only track data while the broker is up and
there's not really any good options for graphing.
The queue is missing access to the server,
recent changed functionality on temporary queues namespace needed
the server and now the unit test has to pass in the reference to fix the test.
In a cluster scenario where non durable subscribers fail over to
backup while another live node forwarding messages to it,
there is a chance that the the live node keeps the old remote
binding for the subs and messages go to those
old remote bindings will result in "binding not found".
Both authentication and authorization will hit the underlying security
repository (e.g. files, LDAP, etc.). For example, creating a JMS
connection and a consumer will result in 2 hits with the *same*
authentication request. This can cause unwanted (and unnecessary)
resource utilization, especially in the case of networked configuration
like LDAP.
There is already a rudimentary cache for authorization, but it is
cleared *totally* every 10 seconds by default (controlled via the
security-invalidation-interval setting), and it must be populated
initially which still results in duplicate auth requests.
This commit optimizes authentication and authorization via the following
changes:
- Replace our home-grown cache with Google Guava's cache. This provides
simple caching with both time-based and size-based LRU eviction. See more
at https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CachesExplained. I also thought
about using Caffeine, but we already have a dependency on Guava and the
cache implementions look to be negligibly different for this use-case.
- Add caching for authentication. Both successful and unsuccessful
authentication attempts will be cached to spare the underlying security
repository as much as possible. Authenticated Subjects will be cached
and re-used whenever possible.
- Authorization will used Subjects cached during authentication. If the
required Subject is not in the cache it will be fetched from the
underlying security repo.
- Caching can be disabled by setting the security-invalidation-interval
to 0.
- Cache sizes are configurable.
- Management operations exist to inspect cache sizes at runtime.
This is allowing journal appends to happen in burst
during replication, by batching replication response
into the network at the end of the append burst.
I couldn't reproduce this with a test, but static code analysis led me
to this solution which is similar to the fix done for ARTEMIS-2592 via
e397a17796.
