## Interface CasDataConsumer

- All Superinterfaces:
    CasDataProcessor, CasProcessor, ConfigurableResource, Resource
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    CasDataConsumer_ImplBase

      public interface CasDataConsumer
      extends ConfigurableResource, CasDataProcessor

  Any component that operates on analysis results produced by a UIMA CasDataProcessor. CASDataConsumers may be registered with a `CollectionProcessingManager` (CPM). During collection processing, the CPM will pass each CasData from CasProcessor to each consumer's process method. The CAS consumer can do anything it wants with the CASes it receives; commonly CAS consumers will build aggregate data structures such as search engine indexes or glossaries.

  The CPM will also call each CAS Consumer's `batchProcessComplete(ProcessTrace)` method at the end of each batch and their `collectionProcessComplete(ProcessTrace)` method called at the end of the collection.

  `CasConsumer`s are also `ConfigurableResource`s, and can be instantiated from descriptors. See `XMLParser.parseCasConsumerDescription(XMLInputSource)` and `UIMAFramework.produceCasConsumer(ResourceSpecifier,Map)` for more information.

    - #### batchProcessComplete

          void batchProcessComplete(ProcessTrace aTrace)
                             throws ResourceProcessException,
                                    IOException

      Completes the processing of a batch. A collection may be divided into one or more batches - it is up to the CollectionProcessingManager or the application to determine the number and size of batches.
      Specified by:
        `batchProcessComplete` in interface `CasProcessor`
      Parameters:
        `aTrace` - an object that records information, such as timing, about this method's execution.
      Throws:
        `ResourceProcessException` - if an exception occurs during processing
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs

    - #### collectionProcessComplete

          void collectionProcessComplete(ProcessTrace aTrace)
                                  throws ResourceProcessException,
                                         IOException

      Completes the processing of an entire collection.
      Specified by:
        `collectionProcessComplete` in interface `CasProcessor`
      Parameters:
        `aTrace` - an object that records information, such as timing, about this method's execution.
      Throws:
        `ResourceProcessException` - if an exception occurs during processing
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs
