NSQ

Since Camel 2.23

Both producer and consumer are supported

NSQ is a realtime distributed messaging platform.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-nsq</artifactId>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
    <version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>

URI format

nsq:topic[?options]

Where topic is the topic name

Options

The NSQ component supports 5 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

servers (common)

The hostnames of one or more nsqlookupd servers (consumer) or nsqd servers (producer).

String

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

useGlobalSslContextParameters (security)

Enable usage of global SSL context parameters.

false

boolean

The NSQ endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

nsq:topic

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

topic

Required The NSQ topic

String

Query Parameters (18 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

servers (common)

The hostnames of one or more nsqlookupd servers (consumer) or nsqd servers (producer)

String

userAgent (common)

A String to identify the kind of client

String

autoFinish (consumer)

Automatically finish the NSQ Message when it is retrieved from the queue and before the Exchange is processed

true

Boolean

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

channel (consumer)

The NSQ channel

String

lookupInterval (consumer)

The lookup interval

5000

long

lookupServerPort (consumer)

The NSQ lookup server port

4161

int

messageTimeout (consumer)

The NSQ consumer timeout period for messages retrieved from the queue. A value of -1 is the server default

-1

long

poolSize (consumer)

Consumer pool size

10

int

requeueInterval (consumer)

The requeue interval in milliseconds. A value of -1 is the server default

-1

long

exceptionHandler (consumer)

To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

ExceptionHandler

exchangePattern (consumer)

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. The value can be one of: InOnly, InOut, InOptionalOut

ExchangePattern

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

port (producer)

The port of the nsqd server

4150

int

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

secure (security)

Set secure option indicating TLS is required

false

boolean

sslContextParameters (security)

To configure security using SSLContextParameters

SSLContextParameters

Examples

To send a message to a NSQ server

from("direct:start").to("nsq:myTopic?servers=myserver:4161");

And to receive messages from NSQ

<route>
  <from uri="nsq:myTopic?servers=myserver:4161"/>
  <to uri="bean:doSomething"/>
</route>

The server can be configured on the component level, for example if using Spring Boot in the application.properties file:

camel.component.nsq.servers=myserver1:4161,my-second-server:4161

Then you can omit the servers from the endpoint URI

from("direct:start").to("nsq:myTopic");

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using nsq with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-nsq-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 6 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

camel.component.nsq.basic-property-binding

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

Boolean

camel.component.nsq.bridge-error-handler

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

Boolean

camel.component.nsq.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the nsq component. This is enabled by default.

Boolean

camel.component.nsq.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.nsq.servers

The hostnames of one or more nsqlookupd servers (consumer) or nsqd servers (producer).

String

camel.component.nsq.use-global-ssl-context-parameters

Enable usage of global SSL context parameters.
