Is there a way to increase the no of listener threads for a queue?

Question

I wanted to know if there is a way to increase the no of listener threads that are listening for messages in the queue.
I see that we can configure the no of worker threads that process the messages but my question is specifically for the listener threads.
I stumbled at this question while doing some performance tests in my system where I use a single instance annotated with @SQSListenter, i observed that even if I increase the no of core pool size to 20 or more, there are only only 10 messages in flight at max on the SQS Queue.
This brought me to the question of whether there is only a single listener thread which is retrieving messages from the SQS queue and how do I increase it.

Our team run into the same issue and ended up with overwriting the SimpleMessageListenerContainer class to read multiple times (configurable) of 10 messages to increase the throughput. This is totally wrong way to use framework. I am currently looking for alternative framework. See my question in stackoverflow. I strongly suggest spring-cloud-aws developers to rewrite the SimpleMessageListenerContainer.java class

Has any progress been made on this limitation? High throughput applications that wish to fully utilise hardware currently require a custom solution to achieve full utilisation.

There is a PR open to allow for individual listeners determine their max concurrency which mirrors what spring-amqp does. #380
