[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-9745) Splitter - Should skip null messages if iterator returns null

["Sverker Abrahamsson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Sverker Abrahamsson commented on CAMEL-9745:
--------------------------------------------

For TarIterator I wrote a suggestion for a solution, but it depends on knowing the size of the file being spitted up and keeping track of how much is consumed. However, that is not always the case as the input may just be an input stream (originally in the tar case from a tape drive) so it falls back to the old logic so that case must be handled anyway. It might be preferable to just do as you suggest and skip if null is returned from next(), hence no need to keep track of the length of the data to be splitted.

> When splitting and using an iterator the usually hasNext -> next is paired so if hasNext returns true, then next returns data. But there can be situations where this is tricky to determine up front, and therefore a hasNext may return true, and then next() return null if there was no data really. Then the splitter should just skip that null and continue.
