[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-354) ProfilingHandler should take a length-limiting parameter

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-354?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14342529#comment-14342529 ] 

Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-354:
----------------------------------

Better speed is still important, as a 2x improvement from TIKA-1549 is good but means that now it's only 45% of the web crawl time that's spent determining the language, versus 90%. However the right way to do this is (with a new detector library) internally sampling until the target confidence is reached, versus the caller having to decide how much text to analyze.

So net-net, yes I think this can be closed.

> ProfilingHandler currently parses the entire document (thereby analyzing n-grams for the entire doc).
> ProfilingHandler should take a length-limiting parameter that allows a user to specify the amount of data that should get analyzed.
> In fact, by default that limit should be set to something like 8K.
