Hi, do you have a deeply nested CMs in your pipeline? Is the top level
UIMA-AS service (the one the client is sending CASes to)  a CM?

What you can do to debug this is to use jConsole attached to the UIMA-AS
process once you observe a hang. Click on Threads tab
and check each thread to determine where it is stuck. Some threads will be
blocking waiting on queues and thats ok. Check if CM thread
is blocking on getCas() which would mean that CASes are not being released.
Also, check the queue ( via jConsole attached to Broker process).
Does it look like the CASes are stuck in the queue?
