We (Solr devs) never discussed it... A quick gmail search shows it's been brought up on the Lucene and Nutch lists.

Hi, I thought we discussed this already, mostly concluding UIMA was an IBM-proprietary bear that's not only far from a standard at this point, but not that promising and therefore not worth pursuing. But it could be that we didn't actually have that discussion on this mailing list: I may have had it in private with a couple of friends who use Solr instead. Does anyone else remember discussing it here, perhaps among the committers before we had the public solr-dev mailing list?
