Is the LRUCache value in camel based on individual routes or is a combination of all the routes ?

Issue

• We have a camel route which receives multiple copy of the same files. We want to forward the duplicate files as well to the customers. Earlier, we have an idempotent=true option in the routes. After we removed it, we were are able to send duplicate files, but we still see a backlog of the current files.

• When we were having a read on the File2 component http://camel.apache.org/file2.html idempotent option, there is a description option to use the Idempotent Consumer EIP pattern to let Camel skip already processed files will by default use a memory based LRUCache that holds 1000 entries. If noop=true then idempotent will be enabled as well to avoid consuming the same files over and over again.

• Questions:

  • Is there an option to reduce the LRUCache value to a specified lower value. eg 100 so that it can allow duplicate files to be sent?
  • Is the LRUCache value based on individual routes or is a combination of all the routes?
