Reading IBM MQ as a flume source.

[#1]

Hi all, 

I am trying to understand how using JMSsource with flume will read IBM MQ message queues. 

Basically im trying to understand when the MQ message is destroyed i.e. removed from the queue. 

Im assuming it is on completion of the Source processing when its written to the channel and not on completion of the sink. 

can anyone confirm if this is the case?

You are correct, once the batch of messages have been read from the queue and confirmed delivered to the channel (flushed to disk), then they are marked as acknowledged and, depending on your settings in IBM MQ, can be deleted.
