Chapter 15. Performance Tips
15.1. Apache Qpid Programming for Performance
- Consider prefetching messages for receivers. This helps eliminate roundtrips and increases throughput. Prefetch is disabled by default, and enabling it is the most effective means of improving throughput of received messages.
- Send messages asynchronously. Again, this helps eliminate roundtrips and increases throughput. The C++ and .NET clients send asynchronously by default, however the python client defaults to synchronous sends.
- Acknowledge messages in batches. Rather than acknowledging each message individually, consider issuing acknowledgments after n messages and/or after a particular duration has elapsed.
- Tune the sender capacity. If the capacity is too low the sender may block waiting for the broker to confirm receipt of messages, before it can free up more capacity.
- If you are setting a reply-to address on messages being sent by the c++ client, make sure the address type is set to either queue or topic as appropriate. This avoids the client having to determine which type of node is being referred to, which is required when handling reply-to in AMQP 0-10.
- For latency-sensitive applications, setting
tcp-nodelayonqpiddand on client connections can help reduce the latency.
