Persistent messaging

A method for managing persistent messages between a message producer and a remote message consumer in a computing environment, the method comprising:

• writing a message into a shared memory location in a distributed file system;
• receiving an associated message reference with the shared memory location of the message in the distributed file system;
• writing an associated message reference into a message queue;
• and
• reading the associated message reference from the message queue by the remote message consumer thereby accessing the message in the distributed file system thereby access the message in the distributed file system.

A system for managing persistent messages between a message producer and remote message consumer in a computing environment, the system comprising:

• a messaging platform;
• and
• at least one processor device operable in the computing storage environment and in communication with the messaging platform, wherein the at least one processor device:
• writes a message into a shared memory location in a distributed file system by the message producer,
• writes an associated message reference into a message queue, wherein the associated message reference pointing to the shared memory location, and
• reads the associated message reference from the message queue by the remote message consumer and accessing the message in the distributed file system on receiving a notification of the associated message reference in the message queue.

A computer program product for managing persistent messages between a message producer and remote message consumer in a computing by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• a first executable portion that writes a message into a shared memory location in a distributed file system by the message producer;
• a second executable portion that writes an associated message reference into a message queue, wherein the associated message reference pointing to the shared memory location;
• and
• a third executable portion that reads the associated message reference from the message queue by the remote message consumer and accessing the message in the distributed file system on receiving a notification of the associated message reference in the message queue.
