------------------------------------
Summary: Add CAS interface method that allows user to obtain a
list of Markers associated with a given CAS
Key: UIMA-2478
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2478
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Benjamin Segal
Add a convenience function that removes the need for applications that create
Markers for many CASes to separately manage them (e.g., map CAS to its related
Marker), and thereby simplify application code.
Today's current level of support allows a user to create a Marker for a given
CAS (through the createMarker() method which is part of the CAS interface).
This proposed support will allow the user to subsequently query a given CAS and
obtain a complete list of Markers created against this CAS. This function is a
natural extension to the given level of support (i.e., if one can create Marker
for a given CAS, one should be able to query the CAS to find said Marker.)
Having this support significant simplifies application code, offering
advantages from a memory overhead, performance, and maintainability standpoint.
For example, the application won't need to build and maintain a map of CASes
to Markers, given the Marker is hanging off the CAS to begin with.
