Feature Request: Configuration of MessageLoadBalancingType through brokerProperties

[akselkfklp]

Describe the feature
I would like to configure the messageLoadBalancingType of a cluster connection to STRICT to ensure messages are distributed across cluster nodes even without local consumers.

I assumed setting this under brokerProperties:
clusterConfigurations.my-cluster.messageLoadBalancingType=STRICT
would do the trick, but it doesnt take effect on the cluster.xml.

Steps to reproduce:
Deploy an ActiveMQArtemis CR with:

apiVersion: broker.amq.io/v1beta1
kind: ActiveMQArtemis
metadata:
  name: artemis-broker
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  deploymentPlan:
    clustered: true
    size: 2
    persistenceEnabled: true
    messageMigration: true
  brokerProperties:
    - "clusterConfigurations.my-cluster.messageLoadBalancingType=STRICT"

Check the generated broker.xml in the pod:
kubectl exec -it artemis-broker-ss-0 -n my-namespace -- cat /amq-broker/etc/broker.xml

Observe that <message-load-balancing> under <cluster-connection> remains ON_DEMAND.

can you check the status conditions, it should report any error. I think you may just need to remove the quotes.

The other thing to note is that the brokerProperties do not effect the broker.xml, they are applied by the broker to the internal configuration, after any broker.xml has been parsed. If the brokerPropertiesApplied condition of the CR status is true, you know the properties have applied ok. You can confirm via JMX or peek at the extra mount secret.

oh, thank you for that clarification!
I wasn't aware that it was set after the broker.xml was parsed.
Confirming via JMX I actually see that it has been applied.. Sorry for wasting your time on this..
