Is it ok tika version for jackrabbit 2.2.x branch from 0.8 to at
least 0.9?
Are there objections against bumping Tika from 0.8 to at least 0.9 for
the 2.2.x branch? Some of our customers have been bitten by [1] which
has been solved in Tika 0.9.

Fair enough. I assumed tika 0.9 to be compatible with 0.8, but I am ok
with your reasoning. I am already upgrading the tika dependency in our
downstream projects. I'll keep it that way for the 2.2.x branch.
Thanks for your feedback Jukka,

Upgrading dependencies in a maintenance branch is a bit troublesome as
the risk of introducing unexpected problems is higher than with
simpler code changes. Thus the benefits should be carefully weighed
against the potential risk.
One way to reduce the potential impact is to only update the Tika
dependency in the war, rar, and standalone jar archives, but leave the
dependency in jackrabbit-core unchanged so we don't accidentally mess
up with transitive dependencies of downstream projects. A downstream
project that embeds Jackrabbit but still wants the Tika update can
still do so locally by explicitly upgrading the version of the Tika
dependency.
