Quite a while back there was some work done towards variables/fields on the
CAS level.
Does it make sense to put that directly into the CAS interface?
It would be nice to have support for primitive and FS fields.
I know that it is possible with the current design by creating a FS type
for each field, but that results in a couple of lines of code to write and
access a field. Maybe we can come up with something that takes only one
line of code to set or access a field.
Maybe like this:
cas.setField("confidence", 0.78f);
Float confidence = cas.getField("confidence", Float.class);
