[jira] [Created] (CONNECTORS-1560) Improve tika-server robustness via -spawnChild

Tim Allison created CONNECTORS-1560:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve tika-server robustness via -spawnChild
                 Key: CONNECTORS-1560
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1560
             Project: ManifoldCF
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Tim Allison


I'd encourage you to consider adopting the new {{-spawnChild}} mode in tika-server.  See the documentation here: https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaJAXRS#Making%20Tika%20Server%20Robust%20to%20OOMs,%20Infinite%20Loops%20and%20Memory%20Leaks

The small downside is that the server can go down for a few seconds during the restart.   Clients have to be prepared for an IOException on files that are being parsed when the child server goes down and/or if the child is being restarted.  The upside is that your users will be protected against infinite loops, OOM and memory leaks...things that we used to just hope never happened...but they do, and they will.
