[jira] Commented: (CAMEL-3124) polling of feeds in FeedEntryPollingConsumer is broken.

["Ernst Bunders (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-3124?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=61849#action_61849 ] 

Ernst Bunders commented on CAMEL-3124:
--------------------------------------

Well, not strictly a bug. But it seems very strange behavior to me, If you should choose to process one item at each poll, here seems to be no reason to discard the list, in stead of keeping it over polls until depleted. Unless there is a reason I didn't think of...
Is there?

Also I think it would be nice to make the behavior configurable. We now chose to process all feed items with one poll, because it suites our needs, perhaps other use cases are best served with the one-item-per-poll strategy.

Ernst

> The FeedEntryPollingConsumer class implements the poll() method for the 'splitEntries' mode of the RssEndpoint is broken.
> You can think of two ways that polling feeds could work:
> 1) A feed is created, then one item is processed, then the delay, then process another item. This way the feed is kept between calls to poll().
> 2) A feed is created, then all the items are processed, the feed is cleared, and then the delay.
> But the way it presently works:
> A feed is created, one items is processed, and the feed is cleared, then the delay, and again the feed is created and the next item is cleared.
> This is clearly wrong. Feed entries can be missed, because the index of the next item to process is stored over polls but the list isn't. Also this creates a big network overhead when polling very active feeds such as twitter search...
> This is easy to fix. In the below code:
> {code}
> public void poll() throws Exception {
>         Object feed = createFeed();
>         populateList(feed);   
>         while (hasNextEntry()) {
>             Object entry = list.get(entryIndex--);
>             boolean valid = true;
>             if (entryFilter != null) {
>                 valid = entryFilter.isValidEntry(endpoint, feed, entry);
>             }
>             if (valid) {
>                 Exchange exchange = endpoint.createExchange(feed, entry);
>                 getProcessor().process(exchange);
>                 // return and wait for the next poll to continue from last time (this consumer is stateful)
>                 return;
>             }
>         }
> {code}
> The return (at line 56 of org.apache.camel.component.feed.FeedEntryPollingConsumer) should be deleted.
