Charles, this appears to be a bug in the UIMA AS client code. The only work
around that comes to mind right now
is to run without -i. Without -i the runRemoteAE should terminate on
exception.
We will investigate this problem and post a patch on apache.
Thanks
Jerry

Please respond to UimaASProcessCasTimeout exception
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hangs application
or.apache.org
When experimenting with the UIMA-AS examples and how the error handling
mechanisms work in terms of timeouts due to AS Aggregates taking too long
or going offline, we came across a situation in which the RunRemoteAsyncAE
hangs and never returns after receiving and processing a
UimaASProcessCasTimeout exception. Ultimately, we simply want the system
to recover and try the next CAS or return gracefully without having to call
a hard System.exit(1).
Our tests are based on the Deploy_MeetingDetectorTAE_RemoteRoomNumber.xml
example. All we did was the following:
(1) added “Thread.sleep(5000);” to RoomNumberAnnotator.java process to
simulate a longer process.
(2) Executed: startBroker.bat
(3) Executed: deployAsyncService <DIR>\Deploy_RoomNumberAnnotator.xml
(4) Executed: runRemoteAsyncAE tcp://localhost:61616
MeetingDetectorTaeQueue –c <DIR>\FileSystemCollectionReader.xml -t 4 -i
In summary: when setting and triggering the time outs on the RoomNumber
remoteAnalysisEngine, the exception is thrown and caught, each additional
CAS is tried, and the system exists gracefully. If the
UimaAsynchronousEngine within the runRemoteAsyncAE times out, then the
system hangs and never returns.
Is there a trick that we’re missing? Is this expected?
- Charles
