Christian Müller commented on CAMEL-4118:
-----------------------------------------

Of curse. Imagine you you process a big file which is splitted per each line 
and in the aggregator grouped by e.g. the manufacturer. We don't know how many 
messages the aggregator will receive. After we splitted and grouped all 
individual messages, the splitter send a "signal" message to the aggregator to 
flush *ALL* messages, independent from the group.
Hope this makes it a bit cleaner.

Best,
Christian

> Imagine you process a big file with multiple financial transactions. After 
> splitting the file into its individual transactions, we send they to an 
> aggregator to group transactions for the same card/account together. At this 
> time, we don't know how many transactions we have to group together. Only at 
> the end of processing the input file, we know that we are done. At this time, 
> we have to instruct the aggregator to "flush all aggregated exchanges".
> A workaround for the time being is, to inject the aggregator also into a bean 
> which is called after the splitter. This bean can query for all keys with the 
> "getKeys" method and than send a "flush" exchange to the aggregator 
> (completionPredicate(header("flush"))). However it will still aggregate that 
> "flush exchange". So take care of that in your custom aggregation strategy 
> and enable eagerCheckCompletion, so the predicate is checked before 
> aggregating.
> We had a similar question on the user list to "flush all aggregated 
> exchanges" when Camel shut down.
