Thank you, I tested with the wrong one, and it created 2 lines in metrics, that look identical but are not.
`
10-02-2012 08:26:13.261 -0400 INFO Metrics - group=queue, name=nullqueue, max_size_kb=500, current_size_kb=0, current_size=0, largest_size=0, smallest_size=0
10-02-2012 08:26:13.261 -0400 INFO Metrics - group=queue, name=nullqueue, blocked=true, max_size_kb=500, current_size_kb=499, current_size=998, largest_size=998, smallest_size=998

and when the wrong queue one was full, my indexer was buster, unable to accept any data. So please use the correct nullQueue.
