[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-7632) Change the ExtractingRequestHandler to use Tika-Server

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17705138#comment-17705138 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7632:
-----------------------------------

Following a [DISCUSS thread|https://lists.apache.org/thread/lbm6wb88gd1cfktgs6sfvw5xf73o8trd] on dev I'm working on a POC for this, in a hope to get rid Solr distribuion of the weight, complexity and inflexibility of bundled Tika.

I already have code that forwards the input stream to Tika-Server and receives and parses the JSON response of the parsed doc. Will post a PR eventually.

Once extraction module no longer depends on all the tika parsers, we can also move XLSXResponseWriter (depending on POI) out to a separate module.

> It's a pain to upgrade Tika's jars all the times when we release, and if Tika fails it messes up the ExtractingRequestHandler (e.g., the document type caused Tika to fail, etc). A more reliable way and also separated, and easier to deploy version of the ExtractingRequestHandler would make a network call to the Tika JAXRS server, and then call Tika on the Solr server side, get the results and then index the information that way. I have a patch in the works from the DARPA Memex project and I hope to post it soon.
