Is anybody using UIMA with Solr?

Hi,

Solr ships an UIMA component and examples that haven't worked for a
while. Details are in:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11694

The choices for developers are:
1) Rip UIMA out (and save space)
2) Update UIMA to latest 2.x version
3) Update UIMA to super-latest possibly-breaking 3.x

The most likely choice at this point is 1. But I am curious (given
that UIMA is in IBM Watson...) if anybody actually has a use-case that
strongly votes for options 2 or 3, given that the update effort is
probably not trivial.

Note that if you use UIMA with Solr, but in a configuration completely
different from that shipped (so the options 2/3 would still be
irrelevant), it could be still fun to share the knowledge in this
thread, with the appropriate disclaimer.

Regards,
   Alex.

sorry thought I was on UIMA mailing list.
That being said, my position is the same :

let UIMA folks load data into SolR by using the most optimized way.
(what would be the best way ? Loading jsons ?)

Hi

Not realy a direct answer - Never used it, however this feature have
been attractive to me while first looking at uima.

Right now, I would say UIMA connectors in general are by design
a pain to maintain. Source and target often do have optimised
way to bulk export/import data. For example, using a jdbc postgresql
connector is a bad idea compared to using the optimzed COPY function.
And each database has it's own optimized way of doing.

That's why developpers of UIMA should focus on  improving what UIMA
is good at: processing texts.
Exporting and importing texts responsibility should remain to the other
tools.

Tell me if i am wrong
