Are components reentrant? Can components be cloned? #22

Closed benson-basis closed 8 years ago

benson-basis commented 8 years ago

It takes quite a while to decompress and deserialize a component, and we're going to need to do so often. If they are thread-safe, it's not an issue. if they can be cloned, it's not too bad, but the interface does not advertise this. Can you give me any advice? I can certainly dive into the code and start to look at how to modify it in this direction if needed.

All NLP components are thread-safe; this change was made in the earlier version of ClearNLP, the predecessor of NLP4J, but now I realize not everyone knows about this so I should advertize it again. Please let me know if this fixes your issue. Thanks.
