Its generally bad practice to have concurrent consumers compete for
the same files.
Instead you can keep one route to pickup new files, but then use the
threads EIP to let other threads take over and process the files.
I wrote a blog about this 2+ years ago so you may be able to google/find that.
Basically something like
from(file)
.threads(10)
.to("bean:doSomething")
eg to have 10 concurrent threads process the picked up files.
