UIMA AS should provide a way to increase prefetch size on a reply queue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: UIMA-1799
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1799
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Async Scaleout
    Affects Versions: 2.3AS
            Reporter: Jerry Cwiklik
            Assignee: Jerry Cwiklik


UIMA AS currently provides no way to change prefetch size on a reply queue. A 
default of 1 is used. This slows down the rate of processing messages by a 
service. Each UIMA AS service has a dedicated submitter thread whose main job 
is to deliver a message to a thread pool for processing. Since the submitter 
thread executes very fast and the prefetch=1 , the submitter thread is 
constantly waiting for the Broker to deliver the next message. Increasing 
prefetch forces the Broker to deliver multiple messages to a service which 
buffers them until the submitter thread is ready. The size of the prefetch 
should be equal to a scalout factor defined on each reply queue. The default is 
still 1. 

NOTE: increasing prefetch effects memory requirement for the service. The 
larger the prefetch the more messages are buffered taking up more memory.
