camel-hdfs-kafka-connector source configuration

When using camel-hdfs-kafka-connector as source make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for the connector:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-hdfs-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>

The camel-hdfs source connector supports 51 options, which are listed below.

By setting this option to false allows your application to startup, and not block for up till 15 minutes.	true	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.fileSystemType	Set to LOCAL to not use HDFS but local java.io.File instead. One of: [LOCAL] [HDFS]	"HDFS"	MEDIUM

camel.source.endpoint.keyType	The type for the key in case of sequence or map files. One of: [NULL] [BOOLEAN] [BYTE] [INT] [FLOAT] [LONG] [DOUBLE] [TEXT] [BYTES]	"NULL"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.namedNodes	A comma separated list of named nodes (e.g. srv11.example.com:8020,srv12.example.com:8020)	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.owner	The file owner must match this owner for the consumer to pickup the file. Otherwise the file is skipped.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.valueType	The type for the key in case of sequence or map files One of: [NULL] [BOOLEAN] [BYTE] [INT] [FLOAT] [LONG] [DOUBLE] [TEXT] [BYTES]	"BYTES"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.bridgeErrorHandler	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	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.pattern	The pattern used for scanning the directory	"*"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle	If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead.	false	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.streamDownload	Sets the download method to use when not using a local working directory. If set to true, the remote files are streamed to the route as they are read. When set to false, the remote files are loaded into memory before being sent into the route.	false	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.exceptionHandler	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.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.exchangePattern	Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. One of: [InOnly] [InOut] [InOptionalOut]	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.pollStrategy	A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.basicPropertyBinding	Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.blockSize	The size of the HDFS blocks	67108864L	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.bufferSize	The buffer size used by HDFS	4096	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.checkIdleInterval	How often (time in millis) in to run the idle checker background task. This option is only in use if the splitter strategy is IDLE.	500	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.chunkSize	When reading a normal file, this is split into chunks producing a message per chunk.	4096	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.compressionCodec	The compression codec to use One of: [DEFAULT] [GZIP] [BZIP2]	"DEFAULT"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.compressionType	The compression type to use (is default not in use) One of: [NONE] [RECORD] [BLOCK]	"NONE"	MEDIUM

camel.source.endpoint.replication	The HDFS replication factor	3	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.splitStrategy	In the current version of Hadoop opening a file in append mode is disabled since it’s not very reliable. So, for the moment, it’s only possible to create new files. The Camel HDFS endpoint tries to solve this problem in this way: If the split strategy option has been defined, the hdfs path will be used as a directory and files will be created using the configured UuidGenerator. Every time a splitting condition is met, a new file is created. The splitStrategy option is defined as a string with the following syntax: splitStrategy=ST:value,ST:value,… where ST can be: BYTES a new file is created, and the old is closed when the number of written bytes is more than value MESSAGES a new file is created, and the old is closed when the number of written messages is more than value IDLE a new file is created, and the old is closed when no writing happened in the last value milliseconds	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.synchronous	Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).	false	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.maxMessagesPerPoll	To define a maximum messages to gather per poll. By default a limit of 100 is set. Can be used to set a limit of e.g. 1000 to avoid when starting up the server that there are thousands of files. Values can only be greater than 0. Notice: If this option is in use then the limit will be applied on the valid files. For example if you have 100000 files and use maxMessagesPerPoll=500, then only the first 500 files will be picked up.	100	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.backoffErrorThreshold	The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.backoffIdleThreshold	The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.backoffMultiplier	To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.delay	Milliseconds before the next poll.	500L	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.greedy	If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages.	false	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.initialDelay	Milliseconds before the first poll starts.	1000L	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.repeatCount	Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever.	0L	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.runLoggingLevel	The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that. One of: [TRACE] [DEBUG] [INFO] [WARN] [ERROR] [OFF]	"TRACE"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.scheduledExecutorService	Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.scheduler	To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz component One of: [none] [spring] [quartz]	"none"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.schedulerProperties	To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz, Spring based scheduler.	null	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.startScheduler	Whether the scheduler should be auto started.	true	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.timeUnit	Time unit for initialDelay and delay options. One of: [NANOSECONDS] [MICROSECONDS] [MILLISECONDS] [SECONDS] [MINUTES] [HOURS] [DAYS]	"MILLISECONDS"	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.useFixedDelay	Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details.	true	MEDIUM
camel.source.endpoint.kerberosConfigFileLocation	The location of the kerb5.conf file (https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html)	null	MEDIUM
