[jira] [Created] (TIKA-3901) Consider adding a wrapper for Siegfried

Tim Allison created TIKA-3901:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Consider adding a wrapper for Siegfried
                 Key: TIKA-3901
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3901
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Tim Allison


Digital preservation folks really like PRONOM.  One option to get pronom definitions via Tika would be to run DROID "in process" (h/t Andy Jackson: https://github.com/openpreserve/nanite/).

Given the risks of oom/timeouts etc and the jar hell nightmares of running DROID in process, it might make sense to integrate Richard Lehane's siegfried and run it as an external process.  Users would be required to have it installed, or they could pre-install it in a Docker container.
