Hi,
I did some debugging and I think I figured it out: we also
have maxMessagesPerPoll=1 set on that endpoint. This means that the consumer
generates a list of 1 elements that it then tries to sort.
We are using maxMessagesPerPoll=1 because we have multiple routes
connected through NMR (it's all deployed in ServiceMix) and we had problems
with the FTP connector. I remember there was also a different (better)
solution but at the time we thought that this works well enough for now. I
guess it's time to revisit the old solution.
thanks,
Sorin.
ps: should we submit a patch with this read lock strategy? We would love it
if this became part of Camel.
