Hi all,

I am using a file consumer in the batch mode to consume all the files in
a directory.
I aggregate them all together using  aggregate(constant(true), new
MyAggregationStrategy()).completionFromBatchConsumer()
And it works just fine.

Now I need to be notified if there is nothing to consume (the directory
is empty). So I use sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle=true
which works just fine by itself.

But if I use both sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle and
completionFromBatchConsumer() the aggregation never completes.

Tested with camel 2.10.0
I found this completion logic in AggregateProcessor.isCompleted(String,
Exchange)

            int size = exchange.getProperty(Exchange.BATCH_SIZE, 0,
Integer.class);
            if (size > 0 && batchConsumerCounter.intValue() >= size) {
                ....
            }

In other words the aggregate will never complete if there is nothing in
the batch.

Is there an elegant way to aggregate a flow even if the batch is empty?

Thank you!
  Max
