[jira] Commented: (TIKA-378) TikaConfig should notify users if it cannot initialize some parser

["Ken Krugler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-378?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12834464#action_12834464 ] 

Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-378:
----------------------------------

Would it be sufficient to add a method that forces initialization of all known parsers?

Or is this a runtime situation, where you want an exception thrown when either an explicit Tika parser can't load the required implementation jar, or the Autodetect parser hits the same situation?

> It would be nice if TikaConfig would somehow signal that it cannot load parser classes. Currently it just silently ignores all throwables.
> I would be ok with about any kind of signaling (even just wrapping and rethrowing the exception). If we wan't to maintain back compat in functionality we could indroduce a new config option into the configuration file or a method in TikaConfig class that would enable rethrowing exceptions on parser initializations.
