             Summary: simplify iterators to avoid type merging juggling when order is not needed
                 Key: UIMA-4166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4166
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Java Framework
            Reporter: Marshall Schor
            Assignee: Marshall Schor
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.7.0SDK


Users who use getAllIndexedFSs(type) to iterate over all FeatureStructures of a particular type, in no particular order, for types which have subtypes, use the PointerIterator implementation which juggles the collection of iterators for each subtype and "merges" them in the proper order.  This is done even when the index type is a BAG.  Add an alternative implementation which does the much simpler thing for these cases (where order isn't needed) that avoids the juggling operations and just goes through each index sequentially.
