> Using [CTAKESParser from Tika Server|https://wiki.apache.org/tika/cTAKESParser], I noticed that an exception occurs when the CTAKESParser is used multiple times:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.uima.cas.CASRuntimeException: Data for Sofa feature setLocalSofaData() has already been set.
> {noformat}
> This is due to the CAS (Common Analysis System) used by CTAKESParser. The CAS, as the AE (AnalysisEngine), is a static field into CTAKESParser to make a sort of singleton.
> By the way, An Analysis Engine is a cTAKES/UIMA component responsible for analyzing unstructured information, discovering and representing semantic content. An AnalysisEngine operates on an "analysis structure" (implemented by CAS).
> It is highly recommended to reuse the CAS, but it has to be reset before the next run. The CTAKESUtils class ({{org.apache.tika.parser.ctakes}}) provides the reset method to release all resources held by both AnalysisEngine and CAS and then "destroy" them. This method prevents the CASRuntimeException error.
> You can find in attachment the patch including two new methods (resetCAS and resetAE) to reset, but not to destroy, the CAS and the AnalysisEngine respectively.
> By using only resetCAS, CTAKESParser can reuse both CAS and AE instead of building them again for each run.
