Description

Routes have properties but it is not exposed to the DSL so it is not possible to add arbitrary meatadata to a route.

Having such option is useful for some use cases:

• cloud related service registration: information added to a route as metadata can be used to automatically expose a route as a service in a cloud environment (consul, etcd, k8s, spring-cloud)
• property resolution could also take into account properties/metadata bound to a route, this is useful when the route is automatically generated so the same property but with different value can be used by different routes.
