[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-2640) SHIFT action does not copy annotation features

["Peter Klügl (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13572305#comment-13572305 ] 

Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-2640:
-----------------------------------

Thanks for pointing this out. I totally forgot the features when I implemented the action. Your patch is really appreciated and you are welcome to submit more patches. However, I think there is even more broken.

Take a look at the following example, which should work (SHIFT is applied to reduce the offsets):

document = "only some text<br/>"

{noformat}
PACKAGE org.apache.uima;

DECLARE Annotation FS (Annotation doc, STRING lang);
Document{-> CREATE(FS, "doc" = Document, "lang" = "unknown")};
Document{ -> RETAINTYPE(MARKUP)};
W{STARTSWITH(FS) -> SHIFT(FS, 1, 2)} W+ MARKUP;
{noformat}

I will fix it, extend the documentation and add a test.

> The SHIFT action is really useful, but as currently implemented it creates a new annotation rather than extending the boundaries of the matched one (and re-indexing).
> I have a patch that copies the old features over (which I'll attach shortly), adapted from CasCopier.
> If the patch is not enough, at least the documentation for SHIFT needs to changed to warn about the current behavior.
