`Hystrix Configuration Ref`	Specifies the id of a shared Hystrix configuration that all Hystrix patterns in a `CamelContext` object can refer to.
`Id`	Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint. The tooling automatically generates an id for a node when it creates it. You can remove that id or replace it with your own. The Camel debugger requires all nodes with a breakpoint set to have a unique id. You can use the id to refer to endpoints in your Camel XML file.
