Description

With the recently added "quota" parameter, a queue can become full.

It would be nice to be able to tell Apollo what to do with new messages. Possible strategies include:

• block the producer (like with slow_consumer_policy=block)
• return an error
• first make some space in the queue by expiring the oldest message(s) and then accept the new message(s) (the queue would become a ring)
