Definitely an interesting idea but can we do this after we get user
feedback from a 1.0 release? This seems like a clear augmentation of
function- so if we in 1.0 send the first response and log the rest then
that's a start IMO.
Trying to apply principle of least power [1] and [2].

Hi,
It is very easy to resolve the issue "Synapse Send mediator should not
stop mediation" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-57 (just
have to return true after send execution), but this will reveal in a
serious issue if another send mediator is executed along in the path of
in message mediation which will result in multiple responses for a given
message.
One option is to send back the first response and drop all the other
reponses. But I think, Synapse should give the opportunity of handling
multiple responses, to the user who configures synapse to send multiple
requests to different endpoints, without taking intelligent decision to
send back only one and drop other messages. Currently, Synapse
configuration does not allow this kind of a behaviour. So I propose the
following configuration enhancement for the send mediator.
<send outSequence="key"> ... </send>
Also it is better if the user has some means of controlling this
continue after send behaviour explicitly. So we can add one more
attribute as "continue" which will be true or false depending on whether
he/she wants to continue after send or not. So that the overall send
mediator configuration will be as follows..
<send outSequence="key" continue=[true|false]> .... </send>
Any comments....
Thanks,
Ruwan.
