<h1>No Consumer Buffering Example</h1>
<p>By default, HornetQ consumers buffer messages from the server in a client side buffer
before actual delivery actually occurs.</p>
<p>This improves performance since otherwise every time you called receive() or had processed the last
message in a MessageListener onMessage() method, the HornetQ client would have to go the
server to request the next message involving a network round trip for every message reducing performance.</p>
<p>Therefore, by default, HornetQ pre-fetches messages into a buffer on each consumer. The total maximum size of
messages in bytes that will be buffered on each consumer is determined by the <code>consumer-window-size</code>
parameter on the connection factory.</p>
<p>In some cases it is not desirable to buffer any messages on the client side consumer.</p>
<p>An example would be an order queue which had multiple consumers that processed orders from the queue.
Each order takes a significant time to process, but each one should be processed in a timely fashion.</p>
<p>If orders were buffered in each consumer, and a new consumer was added that consumer would not be able
to process orders which were already in the client side buffer of another consumer.</p>
<p>To turn off client side buffering of messages, set <code>consumer-window-size</code> to zero.</p>
<p>With HornetQ you can specify a maximum consume rate at which a JMS MessageConsumer will consume messages.
This can be specified when creating or deploying the connection factory. See <code>hornetq-jms.xml</code></p>
<h2>Example step-by-step</h2>
<p>In this example we specify a <code>consumer-window-size</code> of <code>0</code> bytes in the <code>hornetq-jms.xml</code>
file when deploying the connection factory:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<code>
<connection-factory name="ConnectionFactory">
<connector-ref connector-name="netty-connector"/>
<entries>
<entry name="ConnectionFactory"/>
</entries>
<!-- We set the consumer window size to 0, which means messages are not buffered at all
on the client side -->
<consumer-window-size>0</consumer-window-size>
</connection-factory>
</code>
</pre>
<p>We create a consumer on a queue and send 10 messages to it. We then create another consumer on
the same queue.</p>
<p>We then consume messages from each consumer in a semi-random order. We note that the messages
are consumed in the order they were sent.</p>
<p>If the messages had been buffered in each consumer they would not be available to be consumed
in an order determined afer delivery.</p>
<p><i>To run the example, simply type <code>mvn verify</code> from this directory</i></p>
