---------------------------------
Summary: isDuplicate iterates over set
Key: CTAKES-265
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-265
Project: cTAKES
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ctakes-dictionary-lookup
Reporter: Tim Miller
Priority: Minor
The private method isDuplicate() in DictionaryLookupAnnotator is used to filter
out duplicates from its lookups. It does so by keeping a Set object full of
objects its seen before, and then does a lookup by manually iterating over all
the elements. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't just call the contains()
method of Set, which I do not believe could possibly be slower. Probably much
faster in fact. Any thoughts or suggestions?
