PendingMessageLimitStrategy (ActiveMQ :: Broker 5.17.3 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConstantPendingMessageLimitStrategy, PrefetchRatePendingMessageLimitStrategy
```
public interface PendingMessageLimitStrategy
```
A pluggable strategy to calculate the maximum number of messages that are allowed to be pending on consumers (in addition to their prefetch sizes). Once the limit is reached, non-durable topics can then start discarding old messages. This allows us to keep dispatching messages to slow consumers while not blocking fast consumers and discarding the messages oldest first.
