[ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA DUCC 2.0.0 released

[Jaroslaw Cwiklik <cw...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the UIMA DUCC,
version 2.0.0.

DUCC stands for Distributed UIMA Cluster Computing. DUCC is a cluster
management system providing tooling, management, and scheduling facilities
to automate the scale-out of applications written to the UIMA framework.
Core UIMA provides a generalized framework for applications that process
unstructured information such as human language, but does not provide a
scale-out mechanism. UIMA-AS provides a scale-out mechanism to distribute
UIMA pipelines over a cluster of computing resources, but does not provide
job or cluster management of the resources. DUCC defines a formal job model
that closely maps to a standard UIMA pipeline. Around this job model DUCC
provides cluster management services to automate the scale-out of UIMA
pipelines over computing clusters.

This is a major release containing new features and bug fixes. Please visit
