      • Open kahadb/db-1.log journal file in hex editor and change one or more bytes of the content of the one message residing in the journal. Save the change.
      • rm kahadb/db.data and rm kahadb/db.redo. Alternatively run echo "XXX" > kahadb/db.data.
      • Start the broker. It will log the corrupted journal entry but fully start up! This is an error as due to the kahadb config it should not start up.
      • Query the queueSize of testQ, it contains 0 messages. The corrupted message was skipped.

    Description

      ActiveMQ is configured for 

      <persistenceAdapter>
  <kahaDB directory="/Volumes/SDCARD/kahadb"
    checkForCorruptJournalFiles="true"
    checksumJournalFiles="true"
    ignoreMissingJournalfiles="false"
    />
</persistenceAdapter>

      If a journal record gets corrupted (e.g. an unconsumed message) and if the index also gets corrupted, the broker will restart without raising errors.
      It logs the corrupted records at INFO level as in 

      Corrupt journal records found in '/tmp/kahadb/db-1.log' between offsets: 594..13262

      but fully starts up thereafter. Due to ignoreMissingJournalFiles=false it should raise an error and exit.

      If only the journal record of an unconsumed message gets corrupted but the index remains valid, the broker will correctly refuse to start but raise

      Failed to start Apache ActiveMQ ([amq, null], java.io.IOException: Detected missing/corrupt journal files. 1 messages affected.)
