add method cas.deleteView()
---------------------------
Key: UIMA-830
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-830
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Eddie Epstein
All CAS content except for SofaFS can be "deleted" by removing any references
to it. The data is not actually deleted, but data without references is left
out of future XML serializations of the CAS.
The proposal here is to allow deletion of SofaFS, by deleting the view
containing it. The actions would be to clear out the view's index repository
and un-index the SofaFS. These are a few lines of code.
However, if the SofaFS or any annotations in that view are referenced by FS in
other views, these FS would still be serialized out. An additional check could
be put into serialization to ignore un-indexed SofaFS and any annotations
pointing to such a SofaFS. Here again, a few lines of code, but with some
additional overhead to serialization of annotations.
