Runtime Parameters to Annotators Running as Services

2018-05-29 Thread Osborne, John D 
What is the best practice for passing runtime meta-data about the analysis to 
individual annotators when running UIMA-AS or UIMA-DUCC services? An example 
would be  a database identifier for an analysis of many documents. I can't pass 
this in as parameters to the aggregate analysis engine running as a service, 
because I don't know what that identifier is until runtime (when the 
application calls the service).

I used to put such information in the JCas, having the CollectionReader 
implementation do all this work. But I am striving to have a more lightweight 
CollectionReader... The application can obviously write metadata to a database 
or other shared resource, but then it becomes incumbent on the AnalysisEngine 
to access that shared resources over the network (slow).

Any advice appreciated,

 -John

Re: UIMA AS deploy: get MessageTimeoutException object

2018-05-29 Thread Jaroslaw Cwiklik 
Daniel, looks like UIMA-AS client receives just the
ResourceInitializationException
and MessageTimeoutException is not available. I will create JIRA for this
soon.
As a workaround you can try changing delegate's error handling thresholds:


  
  
  


  
 

specifically maxRetries and timeout ( may need to adjust client
getMetaTimeout as well).
