Description
- [x] Bug exists Release Version 1.2.5 ( Master Branch)
- [x] Bug exists in MQTTv3 Client on Snapshot Version 1.2.6-SNAPSHOT (Develop Branch)
- [x] Bug exists in MQTTv5 Client on Snapshot Version 1.2.6-SNAPSHOT (Develop Branch)
When using `setDeleteOldestMessages(true)` and the buffer overflows, then the old messages are removed without the onFailure callback is called. So there is no possibility to handle (or at least log) this event.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating DisconnectedBuffer and trace the setDeleteOldestMessages(true) overflow path, then inspect how onFailure is handled for removed messages. Reproduce the buffer-overflow case on the MQTTv3 and MQTTv5 clients mentioned in the report, and confirm that the expected onFailure callback is invoked for messages discarded by the oldest-message policy.
