Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5115: -------------------------------------------------- If get() would return an Optional, then the way to get the actual value would be get().get(). I'm not a fan of Optional either. I'm quite fine with get(), single() and singleOrNull() - but since Optional is one of the hip things today, I wanted to make at least sure that we know why we don't do it. > uv3 select() api for iterators and streams over CAS contents > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: UIMA-5115 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5115 > Project: UIMA > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core Java Framework > Reporter: Marshall Schor > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.0SDKexp > > > Design and implement a select() API based on uimaFIT's select, integrated > well with Java 8 concepts.
