Subject: ctakes-dictionary-lookup-fast

Hi,
The original plan was to update AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml to use the 
new ultrafast dictionary lookup in the upcoming 3.2.1 release.
However, the output is slightly different the old cTAKES dictionary where it no 
longer has a SNOMED/RXNORM consumer (Returns CUI's only and doesn't post 
process map back to the SNOMED/RXNORM codes.)  This can certainly be done 
again, but I am not sure how many people are dependent on the 
AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml to consider this a patch release.
Some Options/Ideas:

1)      Create a AggreatePlaintextUMLSFastProcessor.xml which defaults to 
dictionary-lookup-fast. But doesn't return the codes for now.  We replace the 
default pipeline when SNOMED/RXNORM codes are returned again.

2)      Push forward with defaulting to the new dictionary-lookup-fast in 
AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml

Example output of dictionary-lookup-fast:
