The issue is still present in Camel 2.16.2 and can be reproduced with the example code above. Please note that this happens approx. every 10th run.
I've enabled trace logging for NettyProducer and got the following output: 11:27:46.668 [main] DEBUG org.apache.camel.impl.ProducerCache - >>>> Endpoint[direct://in] Exchange[][Message: 1] 11:27:46.668 [main] DEBUG org.apache.camel.processor.SendProcessor - >>>> Endpoint[tcp://127.0.0.1:20225] Exchange[ID-FOO-55476-1459762065679-0-4][Message: 1] 11:27:46.669 [main] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Pool[active=0, idle=1] 11:27:46.669 [main] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - activateObject channel: [id: 0xe5d5a984, /127.0.0.1:55493 => /127.0.0.1:20225] -> {} 11:27:46.669 [main] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Validating channel: [id: 0xe5d5a984, /127.0.0.1:55493 => /127.0.0.1:20225] -> true 11:27:46.669 [main] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Got channel from pool [id: 0xe5d5a984, /127.0.0.1:55493 => /127.0.0.1:20225] 11:27:46.669 [main] DEBUG org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Channel: [id: 0xe5d5a984, /127.0.0.1:55493 => /127.0.0.1:20225] writing body: 1 11:27:46.672 [Camel Thread #16 - NettyClientTCPWorker] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Operation complete DefaultChannelPromise@5f6e85fe(failure: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException) 11:27:46.680 [Camel Thread #16 - NettyClientTCPWorker] TRACE org.apache.camel.component.netty4.NettyProducer - Channel closed: [id: 0xe5d5a984, /127.0.0.1:55493 :> /127.0.0.1:20225] My first guess would be that the issue is related to NettyProducer line 246 where the ClosedChannelExceptionis not handled by ClientChannelHandler#exceptionCaught and the callback is not set to done. Is there any possibility to fix this?
