If you want multithreaded file processing, then rather than use direct, which is not multithreaded, use either seda:, vm:, or disruptor:, which allow you to set concurrentConsumers=X, and get asynchronous multithreaded processing.
You will have to set some parameters for the smb, look at the "file" component that tell it to pickup multiple files at 1 time (maxMessagesPerPoll=X). -----Original Message----- From: Jakub Bekier [mailto:jakub.beki...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2019 3:46 AM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: Camel smb:// - consuming a lot of files from one folder [[ SEI WARNING *** This email was sent from an external source.

Or do you suggest splitting this as in: "from("smb").threads(10).to("direct:foo") from("direct:foo").to (...) //rest of route But I don't know how this could improve the throughput. The rest of the route is pretty straightforward processing using a couple of "bean()" calls, some of which operate on injected singleton instances - so the access rate is the same for many routes as well as one route. I'm still wondering if Camel does not impose a limit on how many files can be fetched at a time from a remote folder.
