Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5135:
--------------------------------------
Re: using Compressed forms for logging: one of the main use cases for logging
is debugging. Writing in Xmi / Xml (for typesystem) has the advantage that no
"uima" code need be used to look at these (it's more or less directly humanly
readable), and the disadvantage of being larger/slower. To me, this feels like
a good tradeoff for debugging scenarios.
I'm thinking we should wait on implementing something here until we get a
clearer sense of what the user community may want.
> UIMA CasIOUtils enhancements in handling type systems

> Key: UIMA-5135
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5135
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Reporter: Marshall Schor
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0SDKexp, 2.9.1SDK

>
> A recent Jira UIMA-5120 was logging CASs to file system directories, and
> including a type system.
> It would be good to have a conventional,supported way to do this common kind
> of operation, added to CasIOUtils.
> Additionally, it would be good to support as an alternative the standard XML
> serialization format for type systems.
> Some possible conventions:
> * multiple cas files, in 1 directory, with one additional file with the name
> "typesystem.xml".
> * the above style, in one zip file (for example, to be able to read it, one
> cas at a time, via some iterator).
> * finding a type system via the class path following uimaFIT conventions
> One factor that probably is important is to store the type system for this
> kind of thing "close to" the serialized forms it applies to.
> It would be possible of course to support multiple conventions. However, the
> more conventions, the less benefit from "standardization", so this ought to
> be a balance.
