             Summary: file2 component should support appending chars in append mode
                 Key: CAMEL-9971
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9971
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.17.0
            Reporter: James Green
            Priority: Trivial


I've found some code in a route that writes a message to a file with `fileExist=Append` as an option.

To my surprise it first goes through a processor that adds a newline character to the end of the text message. It seems our reader (Logstash) requires one-message-per-line in it's input files.

Of course, if we re-pointed ourselves at a message broker instead of file: the newline-appender processor becomes redundant and thus our code would need to change so it doesn't feel right at all.

If we had a `appendChars` option we could do `&appendChars=\n` instead on the file endpoint uri which feels more natural.
