[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-3143) Enable custom resources and writers in tika-server

["Tim Allison (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17161404#comment-17161404 ] 

Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3143:
-----------------------------------

In addition to the above use cases, it'd be useful to experiment with a "/tasks" (we need a better name) endpoint that returns a task id for super-long-running jobs (e.g. OCR on a 50 page PDF), and then the user can poll the status and retrieve the results when the task is completed.

> We've put in a fair amount of work into the configuration and robustness of tika-server.  I think it would be useful to enable users and even other modules within Tika to add custom handlers within tika-server and to get the configuration and robustness "for free."
> My initial use case would be a handler for tika-eval.  I see this functionality, tho, supporting the "forwarding" handlers that could be used as a replacement for Solr's DIH.
> I don't want to integrate any of the above into the main tika-server, but I do want to make them possible.
> Again, the answer to the "why not just let folks create their own services/servers" is that I'd like to prevent developers from having to reinvent some of the wheels that we've reinvented already. :D
