Description

The Qpid Management Framework has some issues scaling to very large numbers of managed objects.

This improvement provides three things:

1) Better use of the AMQP protocol in the qmfconsole APIs to increase message performance.
2) Batching of QMF messages into AMQP bodies to further reduce the message load.
3) Improved access to the binding keys in qmfconsole API so that applications need not receive data they are not interested in. qpid-queue-stats has been updated to use this feature.

Also included in this update are exception handlers to prevent the broker from crashing when the management agent transmits into a full queue.
