Description

Using the batching pull consumer from ARTEMIS-4314 is only applicable to queue Federation but both policies can be configured in the same federation.
If consumer window size of zero is configured any address policy should be ignored. With address federation there is no local queue to gauge capacity and messages will just accumate in the upstream. The concept of a pull consumer for address federation does not make any sense.
This strategy is already adopted for queue Federation configured for multicast addresses.
