Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5662:
--------------------------------------

Good ideas!   +1 to putting the enabler methods on the LowLevelCas.  I think 
these belong as static methods on the LowLevelCas, not as methods on instances.

I like your idea of try-with-resources, and I think a couple of characters 
(e.g. s = ) extra to accommodate the syntax of that is a pretty small syntactic 
cost.

I think the Java 8 lambda thing would work except for the pesky exception 
issues.  

So, I'll probably do something like
{code}
try (w = LowLevelCas.ll_enableGetFSForRef()) {  
  ... some code, including deserializers ...
}
{code}

The ll_enableGetFSForRef would return an AutoClosable, whose close method would 
restore the previous value.

You could use this without the try-with-resources, to just set it true or 
false. The no arg case would be the same as a *true* arg.

> Some users depend 1) constant v2-ids for FSs preserved in deserialization and 
> serialization, and 2) low level cas API access to these.
> V3 normally doesn't maintain tables linking ids to FSs, as these (unless weak 
> refs are used) prevent GC of unreachable FSs.
> Based on a mode, set by -Duima.deserialize_perserve_ids, and also 
> controllable by new config option per deserialize call, alter the 
> deserialization for those deserializers which know about v2 ids, to put these 
> into the map used for low-level CAS access, using the actual v2 ids, and 
> change the v3 next available id for future new FSs to be 1 beyond the end.
> The -Duima.deserialize-preserve_ids global setting is needed to handle the 
> use case of some annotators using low-level APIs, when part of a pipeline is 
> "remoted".
