I'm using ActiveMQ Artemis version 2.19.1, and I'm facing an issue in a 6-node (3 masters) cluster where redistribution is failing for large messages with the below warning logs:
23:35:05,551 WARN [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ222303: Redistribution by Redistributor[TEST_QUEUE/2244] of messageID = 196,950,715 failed: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Method not supported with Large Messages

Later I see broker is removing consumers with below warning since properties=null:

I have 6 consumers for this queue if one message out of many (let's say 1,000) is large - it should process other messages but, the processing is stopped completely with 0 consumers on the queue.
When you send large messages, within the first block sent the large message is parsed for properties. Most likely you are using large properties in a way the server is not being able to parse the first few bytes of the message. You should avoid using large properties and let the large portion only for the client.
We tried following up with many tests on this JIRA, and the only plausible scenarios would be through large properties, or some incomplete message your client is generating in a way the server can't parse it.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3837
if you provide a reproducer showing how the property is failing to be parsed we will follow up with a possible fix.
Please move any discussion regarding this to the JIRA. It could be a bug caused by your anti-pattern.
