Hi, I wonder whether there is a recommended way to remove certain (J)Cas' (i.e. documents) from a pipeline after reading. The scenario in my case is that I use a standard reader (BinaryCasReader) which returns many documents. I only want a subset of these documents to be processed by the following pipeline (comprising a segmenter, a writer and some other engines), subject to a certain value in a custom annotation.
The initial intuition would be to use/implement a reader that only selects those documents that fulfil the given condition. In my case that would mean, however, that I'd need to implement a new Reader extending the BinaryCasReader by the described functionality. From a high-level view at least, this seems much more complicated than just removing documents from the pipeline. Can I avoid that effort somehow without breaking conventions? Thanks!
