[jira] [Created] (SOLR-2930) Allow controlling an important PDF processing parameter in Tika that splits the words in text and is now suppored in version 1.0 of Tika.

Allow controlling an important PDF processing parameter in Tika that splits the words in text and is now suppored in version 1.0 of Tika.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2930
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2930
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib - Solr Cell (Tika extraction)
    Affects Versions: 3.5
            Reporter: Ravish Bhagdev


Tika 1.0 has fixed a major issue with processing and parsing of PDF files that was splitting the words incorrectly: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-724

This causes text to be indexed incorrectly in solr and it becomes specially visible when using spellcheck features etc.  

They have added a special parameter set using setEnableAutoSpace that fixes the problem but there is currently no way of setting this when using Solr.  As discussed in thread on above issue, it would be nice if we could control this (and in future other) parameter via Solr configuration.

-----------------------------------

i think the most important piece is that this parameter is *off* by default.

for a search engine, if some bold content gets duplicated... there could really be worse things.

but if spaces get incorrectly added to words, thats going to mess up tokenization.
