[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-4145) pollEnrich DSL behaves differently depending on a possibly explicitly given timeout

Babak Vahdat commented on CAMEL-4145:
-------------------------------------

In the meanwhile I tried to dig into the code to understand how it works, correspondingly why it doesn't work in the case no timeout (or 0 timeout) is given to the pollEnrich DSL.

In general the problem is that if we've got a 0 timeout or even a very small timeout (let's say 50 milliseconds), the asynchronous thread gets simply no chance for polling to see if there's something there when we ask him.

Reflected this to the code: DefaultEndpoint.createPollingConsumer() returns a EventDrivenPollingConsumer object, which get's started while camel is booting up. The EventDrivenPollingConsumer.doStart() starts the consumer through ServiceHelper.startService(consumer), which would start up the asynchronuos polling through ScheduledPollConsumer.

Now if you for example put a Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000) as the last statement inside EventDrivenPollingConsumer.doStart() method then the test case I submitted into the forum (see the link in the description above) would also work. The sleep delay on my box should be at least 2 second so that it works, as otherwise the ScheduledPollConsumer will have not enough chance to come into the play for polling.

I'm pretty sure that putting that sleep(2000) call is not the way to go for. But it simply demonstrates where the problem is, that's somehow we've to give the asynchronous polling logic enough time to poll the data, in my test case that was a file.

I hope all this makes sense to you, as my english is pretty poor. Sorry for that.
