Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2478:
--------------------------------------
I'd rather not cause extra change stress ( :) ) for the users (by marking the
createMarker as deprecated) until we decide to really deprecate it in favor of
something else.
> Add CAS interface method that allows user to obtain a list of Markers
> associated with a given CAS

> 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.
