             Summary: Support for sending ChangeMessageVisibility calls while 
processing SQS messages
                 Key: CAMEL-5306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5306
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: camel-aws
            Reporter: alex hutter
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: extendMessageVisibility.patch

When consuming messages from SQS the visibilityTimeout property controls how 
long the consumer has to call deleteMessage before the message is re-delivered 
to another consumer.  When processing messages that take an unpredicatible 
duration, such as requests to download large files, it is difficult to choose a 
good value for visibilityTimeout.

SQS provides an API ChangeMessageVisibility that can be used to extend 
visbilityTimeout if a consumer determins that it is going to need longer to 
process the current message 
(http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReference/Query_QueryChangeMessageVisibility.html).

I would like Camel to be able to handle the calling of ChangeMessageVisibility 
based on how long the message consuming code is taking to process the received 
message.  Since Camel knows how long visibilityTimeout is set to it should be 
able to keep SQS notified that the processor is still running until it is ready 
to call deleteMessage.

I have had a first attempt at solving this and my code is in the attached 
patch.  This may not be a perfect solution so please provide me with feedback 
if you would like it changed before it is merged in.

The patch was made against the 2.9.x branch and my working copy is:
