Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for storing and transferring messages. An example method includes storing a plurality of blocks in a queue, wherein each block includes one or more respective messages received from at least one publisher, wherein each block is associated with a time that the block was stored in the queue, and wherein storage times increase from a block designating a head of the queue to a block designating a tail of the queue. The example method also includes designating as inactive one or more blocks having associated storage times that are older than a first time, allowing messages to be read from inactive blocks until a second time that is older than the first time, and deleting one or more inactive blocks from the queue having associated storage times that are older than the second time.
