Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-1227: -------------------------------------- I think that at initialization time, a service already returns the type system it is using in its getMeta reply; the client already uses this information as an input to create its merged type system. So the information needed to implement this test is already available at the client, and there is no need to send anything extra, or to send a hashcode, etc. Perhaps the merge code, which already needs to compare the service's type system with the one its building up (in order to merge it), could be modified to do this verification? > Help users debug binary CAS serialization problems > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: UIMA-1227 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1227 > Project: UIMA > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Async Scaleout > Reporter: Eddie Epstein > > In order to use binary CAS serialization for remote services, both client and > service must have identical type systems.
