[ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA DUCC 2.0.1 released

[Jaroslaw Cwiklik]

The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of the UIMA DUCC,
version 2.0.1.

DUCC stands for Distributed UIMA Cluster Computing. DUCC is a cluster
management system providing tooling, management, and scheduling facilities
to automate the scale-out of applications written to the UIMA framework.
Core UIMA provides a generalized framework for applications that process
unstructured information such as human language, but does not provide a
scale-out mechanism. UIMA-AS provides a scale-out mechanism to distribute
UIMA pipelines over a cluster of computing resources, but does not provide
job or cluster management of the resources. DUCC defines a formal job model
that closely maps to a standard UIMA pipeline. Around this job model DUCC
provides cluster management services to automate the scale-out of UIMA
pipelines over computing clusters.

This is a bug release, addressing bugs found since DUCC 2.0.0 release. For
a full list of the changes, please refer to Jira report:
http://uima.apache.org/d/uima-ducc-2.0.1/issuesFixed/jira-report.html

Re: Selecting all connected annotations by type.

[José Tomás Atria]

Hi Jens,

I did indeed use those methods for a while and they were working fine, but
I was mostly using them to perform sanity checks on some arbitrary span
annotations, and once I made sure those were being created OK I reverted
back to stock uima-fit.

They should be ok, though; the patch basically adds very little variation
on Richard's methods for indexing covered/covering annotations, and while I
was using them, they worked.

Funny coincidence: Just a few days ago I was thinking that it would be
possible to provide most of the indexing features of CASUtil via interval
trees. No idea about how expensive this would be, though. This may be a
good direction to look into if you happen to feel inclined to rewrite those
methods :)

Best,
jta

Ok Richard, I'll look into it, but I don't promise anything at this point
(tons of project deliverables coming up)...
