*Since Camel {since}*

*{component-header}*

The Azure Storage Queue component supports storing and retrieving the messages to/from
https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/queues/[Azure Storage Queue] service using *Azure APIs v12*. However in case of versions above v12,
we will see if this component can adopt these changes depending on how much breaking changes can result.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Storage account. More information is available at
https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/[Azure Documentation Portal].

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

[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-azure-storage-queue</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
------------------------------------------------------------

== URI Format

[source,text]
------------------------------
azure-storage-queue://accountName[/queueName][?options]
------------------------------

In case of consumer, accountName and queueName are required. In case of producer, it depends on the operation that being
requested, for example if operation is on a service level, e.b: listQueues, only accountName is required, but in case
of operation being requested on the queue level, e.g: createQueue, sendMessage.. etc, both accountName and queueName are required.

The queue will be created if it does not already exist.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&...

For example in order to get a message content from the queue `messageQueue`
in the `camelazure` storage account and, use the following snippet:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from("azure-storage-queue:/camelazure/messageQueue?accountName=yourAccountName&accessKey=yourAccessKey").
to("file://queuedirectory");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


== URI Options

// component options: START
The Azure Storage Queue Service component supports 16 options, which are listed below.


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *autoDiscoverClient* (common) | Setting the autoDiscoverClient mechanism, if true, the component will look for a client instance in the registry automatically otherwise it will skip that checking. | true | boolean
| *configuration* (common) | The component configurations |  | QueueConfiguration
| *serviceClient* (common) | Service client to a storage account to interact with the queue service. This client does not hold any state about a particular storage account but is instead a convenient way of sending off appropriate requests to the resource on the service. This client contains all the operations for interacting with a queue account in Azure Storage. Operations allowed by the client are creating, listing, and deleting queues, retrieving and updating properties of the account, and retrieving statistics of the account. |  | QueueServiceClient
| *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
| *createQueue* (producer) | When is set to true, the queue will be automatically created when sending messages to the queue. | true | 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
| *operation* (producer) | Queue service operation hint to the producer. The value can be one of: listQueues, createQueue, deleteQueue, clearQueue, sendMessage, deleteMessage, receiveMessages, peekMessages, updateMessage |  | QueueOperationDefinition
| *basicPropertyBinding* (advanced) | Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | boolean
| *maxMessages* (queue) | Maximum number of messages to get, if there are less messages exist in the queue than requested all the messages will be returned. If left empty only 1 message will be retrieved, the allowed range is 1 to 32 messages. | 1 | Integer
| *messageId* (queue) | The ID of the message to be deleted or updated. |  | String
| *popReceipt* (queue) | Unique identifier that must match for the message to be deleted or updated. |  | String
| *timeout* (queue) | An optional timeout applied to the operation. If a response is not returned before the timeout concludes a RuntimeException will be thrown. |  | Duration
| *timeToLive* (queue) | How long the message will stay alive in the queue. If unset the value will default to 7 days, if -1 is passed the message will not expire. The time to live must be -1 or any positive number. The format should be in this form: PnDTnHnMn.nS., e.g: PT20.345S -- parses as 20.345 seconds, P2D -- parses as 2 days However, in case you are using EndpointDsl/ComponentDsl, you can do something like Duration.ofSeconds() since these Java APIs are typesafe. |  | Duration
| *visibilityTimeout* (queue) | The timeout period for how long the message is invisible in the queue. The timeout must be between 1 seconds and 7 days. The format should be in this form: PnDTnHnMn.nS., e.g: PT20.345S -- parses as 20.345 seconds, P2D -- parses as 2 days However, in case you are using EndpointDsl/ComponentDsl, you can do something like Duration.ofSeconds() since these Java APIs are typesafe. |  | Duration
| *accessKey* (security) | Access key for the associated azure account name to be used for authentication with azure queue services |  | String
| *credentials* (security) | StorageSharedKeyCredential can be injected to create the azure client, this holds the important authentication information |  | StorageSharedKeyCredential

|===
// endpoint options: END

*Required information options:*

To use this component, you have 3 options in order to provide the required Azure authentication information:

- Provide `accountName` and `accessKey` for your Azure account, this is the simplest way to get started. The accessKey can
be generated through your Azure portal.
- Provide a https://azuresdkartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/azure-sdk-for-java/staging/apidocs/com/azure/storage/common/StorageSharedKeyCredential.html[StorageSharedKeyCredential] instance which can be
provided into `credentials` option.
- Provide a https://azuresdkartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/azure-sdk-for-java/staging/apidocs/com/azure/storage/queue/QueueServiceClient.html[QueueServiceClient] instance which can be
provided into `serviceClient`. Note: You don't need to create a specific client, e.g: QueueClient, the QueueServiceClient represents the upper level which
can be used to retrieve lower level clients.

== Batch Consumer

This component implements the Batch Consumer.

This allows you for instance to know how many messages exists in this
batch and for instance let the Aggregator
aggregate this number of messages.

== Usage

=== Message headers evaluated by the component producer
[width="100%",cols="10%,10%,10%,10%,60%",options="header",]

=== Message headers set by either component producer or consumer
[width="100%",cols="10%,10%,10%,70%",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Header |Variable Name |Type |Description
|`CamelAzureStorageQueueMessageId`|`QueueConstants.MESSAGE_ID`|`String`| The ID of message that being sent to the queue.

|=======================================================================

=== Advanced Azure Storage Queue configuration
If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to
have more control over the `QueueServiceClient` instance configuration, you can
create your own instance:
[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
StorageSharedKeyCredential credential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential("yourAccountName", "yourAccessKey");
String uri = String.format("https://%s.queue.core.windows.net", "yourAccountName");

QueueServiceClient client = new QueueServiceClientBuilder()
                          .endpoint(uri)
                          .credential(credential)
                          .buildClient();
// This is camel context
context.getRegistry().bind("client", client);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then refer to this instance in your Camel `azure-storage-queue` component configuration:

[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
from("azure-storage-queue://cameldev/queue1?serviceClient=#client")
.to("file://outputFolder?fileName=output.txt&fileExist=Append");
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Automatic detection of QueueServiceClient client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an QueueServiceClient bean into the registry.
If it's the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won't have to define it as uri parameter, like the example above.
This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

=== Azure Storage Queue Producer operations

Camel Azure Storage Queue component provides wide range of operations on the producer side:

*Operations on the service level*

For these operations, `accountName` is *required*.
[width="100%",cols="10%,90%",options="header",]
|===
|Operation |Description
|`listQueues`  |Lists the queues in the storage account that pass the filter starting at the specified marker.
|===


*Operations on the queue level*

For these operations, `accountName` and `queueName` are *required*.
[width="100%",cols="10%,90%",options="header",]
|===
|Operation |Description
|`createQueue` | Creates a new queue.
|`deleteQueue` | Permanently deletes the queue.
|`clearQueue`| Deletes all messages in the queue..
|`sendMessage`| *Default Producer Operation* Sends a message with a given time-to-live and a timeout period where the message is invisible in the queue. The message text is evaluated from the exchange message body.
                By default, if the queue doesn`t exist, it will create an empty queue first. If you want to disable this, set the config `createQueue` or header `CamelAzureStorageQueueCreateQueue` to `false`.
|`deleteMessage`| Deletes the specified message in the queue.
|`receiveMessages`|  Retrieves up to the maximum number of messages from the queue and hides them from other operations for the timeout period. However it will not dequeue the message from the queue due to reliability reasons.
|`peekMessages`| Peek messages from the front of the queue up to the maximum number of messages.
|`updateMessage`| Updates the specific message in the queue with a new message and resets the visibility timeout. The message text is evaluated from the exchange message body.
|===

Refer to the example section in this page to learn how to use these operations into your camel application.

=== Consumer Examples
To consume a queue into a file component with maximum 5 messages in one batch, this can be done like this:
[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
from("azure-storage-queue://cameldev/queue1?serviceClient=#client&maxMessages=5")
.to("file://outputFolder?fileName=output.txt&fileExist=Append");

=== Development Notes (Important)
When developing on this component, you will need to obtain your Azure accessKey in order to run the integration tests. In addition to the mocked unit tests
you *will need to run the integration tests with every change you make or even client upgrade as the Azure client can break things even on minor versions upgrade.*
To run the integration tests, on this component directory, run the following maven command:
----
mvn verify -PfullTests -DaccountName=myacc -DaccessKey=mykey
----
Whereby `accountName` is your Azure account name and `accessKey` is the access key being generated from Azure portal.
