             Summary: Implement fast_align as one of the available alignment 
options
                 Key: JOSHUA-283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JOSHUA-283
             Project: Joshua
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: alignment, pipeline
            Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
            Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
             Fix For: 6.1


For some time now, I've been having issues using GIZA++ for alignment whilst 
running a Joshua pipeline.
Whilst looking for an alternative [~post] and [~kellen.sunderland] mentioned 
the berkeley aligner and fast_align respectively.
Due to the fact that 1) berkeley aligner has not been touched in ~9 years, and 
2) no artifact currently exists on Maven Central, I am taking the advice and 
attempting to use fast_align.
This issue will augment the alignment code in Joshua to permit use of 
fast_align which is ALv2.0 licensed.
