Hi Matthew, I haven't done anything with Tim's Docker, so I don't know how it is handling lifetimes. As I understand it uima-as runs the pipelines as services, and the reader is a client. If one reader completes and later on you want to run more documents, you should be able to run a new reader and point it to the port and batch service name of your pipelines. Otherwise you can create a reader that never shuts down by overriding the hasNext() and getNext() methods. Since you are using the FilesInDirectoryCollectionReader (consider using the newer FileTreeReader) you could use something like a WatchService. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/notification.html
