> It looks like the tika.config property or TIKA_CONFIG environment variable can no longer be a simple string.  Post [this commit|https://github.com/apache/tika/commit/3e3145eb0a003ddc0e1ebf88c2ad35eebda2afb1], the code to get a config input stream does
>  
> {code:java}
> new URI(config).toURL().openStream() {code}
>  
> and catches IOException and MalformedURLException.  But the above ends up throwing IllegalArgumentException if the property or environment variable isn't an absolute URL.  As a result, the code that tries to load the file as a resource or regular file never gets to run:
> {code:java}
> private static InputStream getConfigInputStream(String config, ServiceLoader serviceLoader)
>             throws TikaException, IOException {
>         InputStream stream = null;
>         try {
>             stream = new URI(config).toURL().openStream();
>         } catch (IOException | URISyntaxException ignore) {
>         }
>         if (stream == null) {
>             stream = serviceLoader.getResourceAsStream(config);
>         }
>         if (stream == null) {
>             Path file = Paths.get(config);
>             if (Files.isRegularFile(file)) {
>                 stream = Files.newInputStream(file);
>             }
>         }
>         if (stream == null) {
>             throw new TikaException("Specified Tika configuration not found: " + config);
>         }
>         return stream;
>     }{code}
>  
> If the first exception handler caught IllegalArgumentException, I think this would help.  This is an issue for test environments that can't inject -Dtika.config= ... as an absolute URI.  For my case, this is Clojure code running under leiningen where we are injecting JVM opts that need to be portable between machines (e.g., -Dtika.config=tika-config.xml).
