Claim check mechanism for a message payload in an enterprise messaging system

A system comprising:

• a memory device;
• a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
• storing, by the processing device of an enterprise messaging system comprising a plurality of nodes, a message payload in a data store, wherein the data store is shared by the plurality of nodes, wherein the message payload is extracted from a message;
• sending, to a first node of the plurality of nodes, a metadata item associated with the message;
• responsive to determining that a key corresponding to the message payload has been used by the first node to retrieve the message payload, decrementing a removal counter associated with the key;
• and
• responsive to determining that the removal counter satisfies a removal threshold criterion, removing the message payload from the data store.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when accessed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• storing, by the processing device of an enterprise messaging system comprising a plurality of nodes, a message payload in a data store, wherein the data store is shared by the plurality of nodes, wherein the message payload is extracted from a message;
• sending, to a first node of the plurality of nodes, a metadata item associated with the message;
• responsive to determining that a key corresponding to the message payload has been used by the first node to retrieve the message payload, decrementing a removal counter associated with the key;
• and
• responsive to determining that the removal counter satisfies a removal threshold criterion, removing the message payload from the data store.
