Hi,
I am trying to enable hystrix in our camel application and I am trying to understand how the exceptions are dealt when using the Hystrix EIP . When we set the timeOut to a smaller value than the endpoint call, there is no exception thrown that we can deal with. I need a handle to this exception so that I can clean up some data and fail the transaction gracefully. The process stops abruptly. What am I missing here? Is there a different way to handle this? from("direct:hystrixSlowEndpoint") .hystrix() .hystrixConfiguration().executionTimeoutInMilliseconds(2000).groupKey("my-key").end() .log("Before call to endpoint") .to("direct:slow") .log("After call to endpoint") .end() .log("After Hystrix ${body}"); from("direct:slow") .log("Slow processing start: ${threadName}") .delay(3000) .transform().constant("Slow response") .log("Slow processing end: ${threadName}"); Log excerpt - 2017-03-20 16:47:48,927 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Before Log[Hystrix processing start: ${threadName}] with body null 2017-03-20 16:47:48,927 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO route4 - Hystrix processing start: hystrix-my-key-1 2017-03-20 16:47:48,929 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Before To[direct:slow] with body null 2017-03-20 16:47:48,930 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Before Log[Slow processing start: ${threadName}] with body null 2017-03-20 16:47:48,930 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO route5 - Slow processing start: hystrix-my-key-1 2017-03-20 16:47:48,930 [ystrix-my-key-1] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Before Delay[{3000} -> [Transform[constant{Slow response}], Log[Slow processing end: ${threadName}]]] with body null 2017-03-20 16:47:50,939 [main ] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - ******************************************************************************** 2017-03-20 16:47:50,939 [main ] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Testing done: null(HystrixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest) 2017-03-20 16:47:50,939 [main ] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - Took: 2.191 seconds (2191 millis) 2017-03-20 16:47:50,939 [main ] INFO rixRouteBuilderTest$mySlowTest - ******************************************************************************** 2017-03-20 16:47:50,943 [main ] INFO DefaultCamelContext - Apache Camel 2.18.1 (CamelContext: camel-2) is shutting down
