-------------------------------------

             Summary: camel-nats - Consumer does not work in pull mode
                 Key: CAMEL-23419
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23419
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: camel-nats
    Affects Versions: 4.18.1
            Reporter: Michael Weiss


The nats consumer does not seem to work in pull mode (which is the default).

Example:
{noformat}
- route:
    from:
      uri: nats
      parameters:
        jetstreamEnabled: true
        jetstreamName: test
        durableName: camel
        servers: nats:4222
        topic: "456"
      steps:
        - log:
            message: ${body}{noformat}
--> Default is pull mode, but Camel does not pull any messages from nats 
although messages are available in the nats consumer:
{noformat}

{noformat}
 

When enabling push mode explicitly with parameter `pullSubscription: false` it 
consumes the messages.

The problem: the push mode doesn't scale. The consumer (Camel) cannot utilize 
backpressure mechanisms in push mode. The nats project recommends pull over 
push mode 
[here|https://docs.nats.io/nats-concepts/jetstream/consumers#dispatch-type-pull-push]

 

Tested with nats jetstream server 2.12.4
