We should make this EIP easier to use for end users, but offering a better public API. And also have a pluggable message store, with filters that can filter what should be stored. As well pluggable marshallers so people can marshal data from Exchange into a format the message store can store (BLOB, XML, JSon etc.).
A Message Store could provide transparent persistence to various EIP patterns (or used directly). Implementations would handle the mapping to the underlying database or file system or NoSQL or memory or whatever.
Message Store implementations are already there in various places, using different approaches, like in Stream Caching (only file system), AggregationRepository or IdempotentRepository. A Message Store is requested for in other places like Reliable stream resequencing (CAMEL-949) or Persistent Dead Letter Queue (CAMEL-4575). And there might be other areas (seda, bam) that might benefit as well.

Remove not used components

We should consider removing

• camel-bam
• org.apache.camel.view from came-core
• dot maven generator
• ... (there could be other stuff to remove)

The BAM has not changed in 5 years, and very seldom used by end users. And neither has the functionality you need. There is much better solutions outside ASF Camel for a BAM solution.
The DOT generator is not up to date and maintained. Also it requires binary generator to generate a route diagram; we never managed to find a good java library for that.
