> Looking into using {{backoffIdleThreshold}} for reducing the amount of
> polling of OData consuming. So far I cannot see how it would work for the
> [Olingo4Consumer|https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-olingo4/camel-olingo4-component/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/olingo4/Olingo4Consumer.java].
> Bear with me, this may get a little deep to follow!
> Hierarchy: ScheduledPollConsumer > AbstractApiConsumer > Olingo4Consumer
> SchedulePollConsumer maintains an
> [idleCounter|https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/support/ScheduledPollConsumer.java#L61],
> which is incremented each time no messages are returned from polling. Once
> the {{idleCounter}} starts to increment then this in turn starts to increment
> the backoffCounter taking into account properties such as
> {{backoffIdleThreshold}}, resulting in delaying polling etc.
> However, in order for {{idleCounter}} to increment, {{poll()}} methods must
> return 0 messages. Since {{Olingo4Consumer}} defers its {{result[0]}} to
> [ApiConsumer.getResultsProcessed()|https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/support/component/ApiConsumerHelper.java#L85],
> the results must be in a form that can be handled by this static method,
> namely a List, an Iterable or an Array. Otherwise, the result is merely added
> to the Exchange and the constant '1' is returned.
> Now here is the crux. OData services like to return a {{ClientEntitySet}}
> hence when the result is passed to {{ApiConsumerHelper}}, it is none of the
> expected types and
> ['1'|https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/support/component/ApiConsumerHelper.java#L128]
> is therefore always returned. Consequently, the return value of {{poll()}}
> is 1 hence {{idleCounter}} is never incremented.
> I hope that makes sense and if I have made a mistake then please let me know.
> I think the way to handle this would be to put the entities of the
> {{ClientEntitySet}} into the result rather than the set itself. That way
> ApiConsumerHelper would understand a {{Collection}} as an {{Iterable}} and
> return a proper value based on the size of the collection. Alternatively, if
> the {{ClientEntitySet}} is desired as the result then maybe
> {{ApiConsumerHelper}} needs to be extended in some way so as to correctly
> handle a return value for {{poll()}}.
> Not sure which way to go on this so anxious to start a discussion.
