HornetQ messages growing infinitely in BRMS 5.3.1 using jBPM Human Task component

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We are using the REST API to interact with the human-task interface. During our load tests, we have observed that the response times increase over time, and that the server is running low on memory.

The heap dump we collected is showing that the biggest objects by size are HornetQ messages:

Class Name                                                                   | Objects | Shallow Heap |  Retained Heap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
org.hornetq.core.server.impl.MessageReferenceImpl                            |  39,257 |    1,570,280 | >= 889,659,664
