Document URL: http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/Work_with_Large_Messages1.html Section Number and Name: 17.5. Work with Large Messages Describe the issue: Configuration of large message settings for HornetQ is missing. Suggestions for improvement: There should be description on large message configuration parameters alongside some examples in section 17.5 of EAP documentation. Additional information: See http://docs.jboss.org/hornetq/2.3.0.Final/docs/user-manual/html_single/index.html#large-messages for upstream documentation on large messages (mostly sections 23.1 and 23.2)
Nidhi, Thanks a lot for writing the text! I would like few changes though: (1) In 17.5.2 the sentence with default path needs to be fixed. Something like: "$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/data/largemessages is the default directory for storing large messages in standalone mode, while $JBOSS_HOME/domain/servers/SERVERNAME/data/largemessages is the default directory for large messages in domain mode." (Not sure whether it's better to use $JBOSS_HOME or EAP_HOME as a root EAP directory, document as a whole is a bit inconsistent in this.) (2) Create new paragraph at the end of 17.5.2 mentioning that storing large messages on different hard drive than journal can yield better performance: "For the best performance we recommend large messages directory is stored on a different physical volume to the message journal or paging directory." (3) In 17.5.3 rename chapter "Using HornetQ Core API" to "Using HornetQ Core API on client side". In the text, add sentence mentioning default value for setMinLargeMessagesSize, something like: "By default, minimum size of large messages is set to 100KiB." (4) In 17.5.3 rename chapter "Using Java Messaging Service (JMS)" to "Configuring server for JMS clients". Server configuration file name needs to be fixed (hornetq-jms.xml is only for standalone HornetQ server): "...specify the minimum size of large messages in the attribute min-large-message-size in server configuration file (e.g. standalone.xml or domain.xml)." Also, again please add a mention that the default value is 100KiB and that the value in the configuration file has to be in bytes. In the configuration example, please add min-large-message-size attribute as well so the example contains both mentioned settings options: <connection-factory name="ConnectionFactory"> <connectors> <connector-ref connector-name="netty"/> </connectors> ... <min-large-message-size>204800</min-large-message-size> <compress-large-messages>true</compress-large-messages> </connection-factory>
(Changes are already on staging) Looks good now Nidhi, thanks!
