Problem

Athena2Producer.startQueryExecution() drives two nested loops:

while (athena2QueryHelper.shouldAttempt()) {
    queryExecutionId = doStartQueryExecution(athenaClient, exchange).queryExecutionId();
    athena2QueryHelper.markAttempt();

    while (athena2QueryHelper.shouldWait()) {
        athena2QueryHelper.doWait();
        getQueryExecutionResponse = doGetQueryExecution(queryExecutionId, athenaClient);
        athena2QueryHelper.setStatusFrom(getQueryExecutionResponse);
    }
}

The inner loop exits on three conditions: success, failure/retry, and
waitTimeout expiry. Only the first two set state on the helper —
setStatusFrom() assigns isSuccess/isFailure/isRetry only when the query
has actually completed.

When the inner loop exits because millisWaited >= waitTimeout while the query
is still QUEUED/RUNNING, none of those flags are set. shouldAttempt() then
sees attempts < maxAttempts, no failure, no success, not interrupted — and
returns true. The outer loop calls doStartQueryExecution again, submitting
a brand-new Athena query while the previous one is still running.

Impact

With maxAttempts > 1 (the documented way to retry failed queries):

  • every waitTimeout expiry submits another execution of the same SQL;
  • the earlier executions are orphaned — still running, still scanning data, still billed;
  • the CamelAwsAthenaQueryExecutionId header returned to the route belongs to
    the last submission, so the caller cannot correlate or cancel the earlier ones;
  • clientRequestToken is not auto-generated
    (Athena2Producer.determineClientRequestToken reads only a header or the
    endpoint option), so Athena does not deduplicate the submissions by default.

This contradicts the documented contract in aws2-athena-component.adoc:

Upon failure, the query would be automatically retried up to two more times if
the failure state indicates the query may succeed upon retry

Retry is documented as a response to failure states, not to a query simply
taking longer than waitTimeout.

Fix

Treat waitTimeout expiry as terminal for the attempt loop. shouldAttempt()
now bails out when the wait window elapsed while the query was still running,
after success and failure have been ruled out:

private boolean isWaitTimeoutExceeded() {
    if (this.attempts == 0 || this.isRetry) {
        return false;
    }
    return now() - this.startMs >= this.waitTimeout;
}

A completed-and-retryable failure still consumes another attempt, because
setStatusFrom() sets isRetry for it before shouldAttempt() runs — so the
documented retry behaviour is preserved.

Tests

  • aStillRunningQueryIsNotRelaunchedWhenTheWaitTimeoutExpires() — query stays
    RUNNING past the wait window; asserts shouldAttempt() is false and
    attempts stays at 1. Fails on main (Expecting value to be false but was true), passes with the fix.
  • aRetryableFailureStillConsumesAnotherAttemptAfterTheWaitTimeout() — a
    GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR with retry=always still yields
    shouldAttempt() == true, guarding the retry path.

Full class 24/24 green. assertj-core added test-scoped for the new assertions.

Backport

The loop is identical on main, camel-4.18.x and camel-4.14.x → targeted at
4.22.0, 4.18.4, 4.14.9.

…y when waitTimeout expires

The inner wait loop in Athena2Producer.startQueryExecution exits on three
conditions: success, failure/retry, and waitTimeout expiry. Only the first two
set state on the helper, because setStatusFrom() assigns isSuccess/isFailure/
isRetry only for a completed query.

So when the wait window elapsed while the query was still QUEUED or RUNNING,
shouldAttempt() saw no completion state and returned true, and the outer loop
submitted a brand-new Athena query. With maxAttempts > 1 that abandons the
running execution -- still scanning, still billed -- and returns the
queryExecutionId of the last submission, so the caller cannot correlate or
cancel the earlier ones. clientRequestToken is not auto-generated, so Athena
does not deduplicate them either.

The documented contract is that attempts are consumed by retrying *failed*
queries, not by queries that are merely slow. Treat waitTimeout expiry as
terminal for the attempt loop, and keep consuming an attempt for a
completed-and-retryable failure.

Correct fix for a real bug where a still-running Athena query was relaunched when waitTimeout expired, orphaning the previous execution. The isWaitTimeoutExceeded() guard in shouldAttempt() correctly closes the gap, and its interaction with isRetry ensures retryable failures still get another attempt.

The regression test aStillRunningQueryIsNotRelaunchedWhenTheWaitTimeoutExpires directly reproduces the bug scenario, and the retry-path test guards against over-suppression. CI passes on both JDK 17 and 25.
