Limit for number of inflight messages

[ghost]

In SQS, com.amazonaws.services.sqs.model.OverLimitException is thrown when the maximum number of inflight messages is reached during 'ReceiveMessage'. By default this is ~120000 inflight messages. You can increase this by submitting a request to Amazon.

It seems that ElasticMQ does not have this limit.

Sometimes it is required to test what will happen when that limit is reached, and ElasticMq does not have this feature.

Proposal: Expose a property that will manage the number of inflight messages. The value of this property will be from 1 to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Default will be 120000!
