Code trying to ensure reverse iterators list items in the opposite order of 
forward ones is present but not working

                 Key: UIMA-1365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1365
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Java Framework
            Reporter: Branimir Lambov
            Priority: Minor


FSIndexRepositoryImpl contains pieces of code that are meant to ensure forward 
and reverse iterators are inverses of each other by doing additional comparison 
by FS address to resolve equality. However, this is not fully implemented and 
isn't working properly.

The iteratorComparator defined by the PointerIterator class is not used for 
sorting elements in moveToNext() and moveToPrevious(), where the default 
comparators for the iterators are used instead. For the typical use of 
PointerIterator of listing the annotation index this does not cause a problem 
as the type priorities ensure ordering between indexes of different types, 
while the ordering is always defined within the individual indexes.

The piece of code implementing the extra comparison should either be removed or 
corrected.
