How to immediately shut down Apache camel transactions

1
votes

So Apache camel has this graceful shutdown feature that waits 300 seconds, and it's really annoying. I say this because I'm running local testing and I get errors where a request will hang, and I want to abort it by shutting my app down. But then I get stuck waiting for 5 mins for all inflight transactions to finish.

I want the ability to disable this graceful shutdown waiting period for my local testing so I can just kill the whole process and start over. Any advice would be appreciated.

You can set shutdown timeout to some lower value. There are many options to set shutdown timeout value:

  • Spring Boot property - camel.springboot.shutdownTimeout = 1
  • ShutdownStrategy property - getContext().getShutdownStrategy().setTimeout(1)
  • With environment variable (camel-main only) - java -DCAMEL_MAIN_SHUTDOWNTIMEOUT=1 ...
  • At runtime with JMX operation setTimeout() on MBean org.apache.camel:context=MyCamel,type=context,name="MyCamel"

For more details see Graceful shutdown. In Camel 3.1 and later will be default shutdown timeout reduced to 45s - CAMEL-14336.

Here's the documentation of the spring boot property: https://camel.apache.org/camel-spring-boot/3.7.x/spring-boot.html

camel.springboot.shutdown-timeout | Timeout in seconds to graceful shutdown Camel. | 300 | Integer

Setting camel.springboot.shutdownTimeout = 1 in the application test properties was the easiest way to adjust this.
