public interface Engine extends Closeable
A model or service an inference binding calls: one endpoint or one local binary with its settings, named in the "engines" map. An engine knows nothing about documents; a binding says what it is fed and what to ask. An engine lives as long as the config that loaded it: EngineRegistry.close() closes every engine once at shutdown.
Since:
Apache Tika 4.1
