Christopher Hunt commented on CAMEL-1510:
-----------------------------------------

Hi William,

Thanks for submitting my patch to BatchProcessor. Thank you also for reviewing 
the code and noticing that queue.size() wasn't protected. I obtained your 
version of BatchProcessor from the trunk and further noticed that the call to 
isOutBatchCompleted can be safely performed while retaining the queue lock. I 
was under the original impression (through not looking) that isInBatchCompleted 
and isOutBatchCompleted were overload-able. Since they are private then this 
can not be the case and thus can be invoked while retaining the queue lock. The 
code is nicely simplified by removing the locking around these calls.

I have attached a minor patch reflecting the above after having performed the 
camel-core test cases successfully again. The patch is for the 2.0 source.

Kind regards,
Christopher

> 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 
> sender:

>         private Queue<Exchange> queue;

> 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.
