=== Having only a single consumer in a cluster consuming from a given endpoint

When the same route is deployed on multiple JVMs, it could be interesting to use this extension in conjunction with the xref:reference/extensions/master.adoc[Master one].
In such a setup, a single consumer will be active at a time across the whole camel master namespace.

For instance, having the route below deployed on multiple JVMs:

```
from("master:ns:timer:test?period=100").log("Timer invoked on a single JVM at a time");
```

It's possible to enable the file cluster service with a property like below:

```
quarkus.camel.cluster.file.enabled = true
quarkus.camel.cluster.file.root = target/cluster-folder-where-lock-file-will-be-held
```

As a result, a single consumer will be active across the `ns` camel master namespace.
It means that, at a given time, only a single timer will generate exchanges across all JVMs.
In other words, messages will be logged every 100ms on a single JVM at a time.

The file cluster service could further be tuned by tweaking `quarkus.camel.cluster.file.*` properties.
