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

@Martin
Let me try to answer your question regarding InBatchCompleted(),  the original 
patch from CAMEL-1037 has an issue.   Suppose the batch size is a very small 
number (say 2).  Someone can send a large number (say 1000) of messages to the 
BatchProcessor in a short period of time.  It can cause the queue size to 
become much greater than the batch size. The reason is that the enqueueExchange 
only interrupts the Sender thread if it is sleeping.  If the Sender thread is 
not sleeping it only drain 2 messages from the queue.  The queue can back up 
pretty easily.   When that happens, messages are stuck on the queue until 
batchTimeout expires.  However, it only drains 2 messages (batchSize) for each 
batchTimeout.  

The "while (isInBatchCompleted(queue.size()" is a solution for that issue.  We 
actually introduced new parameters InBatchSize and OutBatchSize.  InBatchSize 
is how big the queue can grow before draining the messages to the collection.  
OutBatchSize is how big the collection can grow before messages are sent.

> I have noticed that the BatchProcessor class uses the Thread class interrupt 
> method to wake the run loop from sleeping within the enqueueExchange method.
> The unfortunate side effect of this is that if the run loop is in the middle 
> of processing exchanges, and the processing involves something slow like 
> establishing a JMS connection over SSL or queuing to an asynchronous 
> processor, then the processing can become interrupted. The consequence of 
> this side effect is that the batch sender thread rarely gets the opportunity 
> to complete properly and exceptions regarding the interrupt are thrown.
> This all became apparent during some performance testing that resulted in 
> continuously adding exchanges to the aggregator, the threshold becoming 
> reached, and then trying to enqueue the aggregated result to a JMS queue.
> If my analysis of the BatchProcessor is correct then I would recommend finer 
> grained concurrency controls being used instead of relying upon interrupting 
> a thread. Perhaps something like the following (untested) re-write of the

> I have replaced the concurrent queue with a regular linked list and mutexed 
> its access. In addition any queuing of exchanges is noted. This should result 
> in less locking.
> The main change though is that queuing an exchange does not interrupt the 
> batch sender's current activity.
> I hope that this sample is useful.
