The document discusses Mule's Scatter-Gather component, which sends a request message concurrently to multiple targets, collects the responses, and aggregates them into a single message. It replaces the deprecated All message processor. Scatter-Gather executes routes in parallel rather than sequentially for improved efficiency. The document describes Scatter-Gather's behavior in handling exceptions from failed routes and how to configure it using the wizard, including options for aggregation strategy, timeouts, and threading profile.
