## Interface CpeDescription

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface CpeDescription
      extends MetaDataObject

  Java representation of a Collection Processing Engine (CPE) XML descriptor. Generate an instance of this class by calling either the `XMLParser.parseCpeDescription(XMLInputSource)` or org.apache.uima.collection.impl.metadata.cpe.CpeDescriptorFactory#produceDescriptor(). A CPE instance can then be created by calling `UIMAFramework.produceCollectionProcessingEngine(CpeDescription)`.

    - #### addCollectionReader

          void addCollectionReader(CpeCollectionReader aCollectionReader)

        `aCollectionReaderPath` - - path to the CollectionReader descriptor. A relative path is interpreted as relative to the current working directory.
      Returns:
        `CpeCollectionReader`

                           throws CpeDescriptorException

      Defines the size for the OutputQueue. This queue is used by the CPE to store bundles of CAS containing results of analysis. The queue is shared between ProcessingUnits and CasConsumers. The larger the size of this queue the more bundles of CAS are placed in the queue, and the more memory is consumed by the CPE. The right size for this queue depends on number of factors, like the speed in which Cas's are consumed and available memory.
