This can be +useful for tooling where you can then change routes during troubleshooting an existing running Camel integration. + +## DSL + +TODO: Throttler EIP + +### Variables + +The biggest new feature in Camel 4.4 is the introduction of [variables](/manual/variables.adoc). + +A variable is a key/value that can hold a value that can either be private per `Exchange`, or shared per route, or globally. + +With variables, you can now more easily share data between routes and/or globally. Variables is also readily accessible Review Comment: Not here in the blog - but on the actual doc of the feature itself - the blog is just high level -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
