Hi Not realy a direct answer - Never used it, however this feature have been attractive to me while first looking at uima.
Right now, I would say UIMA connectors in general are by design a pain to maintain. Source and target often do have optimised way to bulk export/import data. For example, using a jdbc postgresql connector is a bad idea compared to using the optimzed COPY function. And each database has it's own optimized way of doing. That's why developpers of UIMA should focus on improving what UIMA is good at: processing texts. Exporting and importing texts responsibility should remain to the other tools. Tell me if i am wrong 2018-06-18 13:13 GMT+02:00 Alexandre Rafalovitch <arafa...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > Solr ships an UIMA component and examples that haven't worked for a > while.
