Persistent Blocking Queue in Java?

Question

TL;DR; I need to know if there's a lib with persistent blocking queue that performatic.

I hava a classic producer/consumers program. They share a LinkedBlockingQueue to share the data, and I use BlockingQueue#take method in the Consumers, as I need them to live forever waiting for new elements.

The problem is I have LOTS of data and I can't lose them. Even after the consumers stops, the producer can persist to generate some data. I am thinking about implementing my BlockingQueue ta uses H2 behind to store/get the data after some threshold is reached. My main problem is that I need performance and I need to consume the elements in the order they are created.

Is there an implementation of persistent blocking queue that I can use for something like this? If it doesn't, any sugestions for me to achieve something like this?

I would use ActiveMQ lib and Spring JMS, here is a usage example

start broker

BrokerService broker = new BrokerService();
broker.addConnector("tcp://localhost:61616");
broker.start();

read msg

ConnectionFactory cf = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://localhost:61616");
JmsTemplate t = new JmsTemplate(cf);
Message msg = t.receive();

send message

ConnectionFactory cf = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://localhost:61616");
JmsTemplate t = new JmsTemplate(cf);
t.send("test", new MessageCreator() {
  public Message createMessage(Session session) throws JMSException {
    return session.createTextMessage("test");
  }
});
