> On my Linux box I configure Tika using the TIKA_CONFIG environment variable to point the Tika server at my config.xml file.   Sometimes, however, I want to clear this variable to use the default config and I noticed that Tika will throw an exception and abort if I do the following:
> export TIKA_CONFIG=''
> Seems like a case that should be handled just by ignoring the empty value (i.e., there's no config to be used so go with the default)  or at the most, log a warning that the variable was detected but it's value is empty, but still carry on using the default config.
