Upgrading and Migrating Amazon SQS Connector to 5.9 - Mule 4
Upgrade Anypoint Connector for Amazon SQS to 5.9 to improve and optimize the performance of your projects using long polling, multithreading, and more control over the polling parameters.
What’s Changed
5.9
With release 5.9 you now have the ability to enable long polling for the Read Message source and Read operation and to control the time interval for the polling. Long polling can reduce the number of network requests without affecting throughput.
Additionally, you can now configure the number of threads for your sources, allowing for a higher throughput in some situations.
5.8
Amazon SQS Connector now supports sending and receiving large messages with payloads of up to 2 GB. This is beneficial when your application requires large amounts of data to be stored in queues.
| This feature requires the use of the Amazon S3 service. Large payload transmissions are billed as one SQS request and one S3 request. Billing for the payload is based on the amount of data stored in Amazon S3. |
5.7
The Messages object now contains a new deduplicationId field. If multiple messages are sent with the same deduplication ID, Amazon SQS accepts the messages successfully, but delivers only the first message during the 5-minute deduplication interval.
5.6
Cluster node support was added back to the Receive Messages input source and works the same as it did in version 5.4.3. The input source listens for messages on all cluster nodes by default, but you can change this behavior by using the Primary node only field on the Advanced sub-tab on the Receive Messages tab. For more information, see Receiving Messages in Cluster Mode.

Ensure your system meets the following requirements before you perform the upgrade:
| Application/Service | Version |
|---|---|
Mule |
