the Apache UIMA AS, which includes
asynchronous scaleout capabilities for the UIMA annotators.

framework. For more information, please visit:

crudentials

  - Modified UIMA-AS client to handle InterruptedException while blocking

until all child CASes
    obtain their Flow objects.

  - Expanded UIMA-AS client API to include a callback containing
information where a CAS
    is being processed (host IP, PID and thread ID)

  - Improved error handling and stability
