[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-3024) CASDumpWriter is sensitive to type system changes

["Richard Eckart de Castilho (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3024?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13728880#comment-13728880 ] 

Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-3024:
--------------------------------------------------

This is not totally trivial because CASDumpWriter simply relies on the order that UIMA returns annotations. If no type priorities are defined, UIMA may return them in an undefined order. Apparently, this order is stable, but dependent on the number/names/whatever of the types in the type system.

> When the type system changes, the order of annotations with the same offsets can change in the CASDumpWriter. This is how the UIMA iterators work "by-design" when no type priorities are defined, but it is still annoying. Maybe an option to enforce a "sort by type name"?
