> Over in TIKA-1639, we were discussing the work outside of Tika that [~rgauss] did (per [~gagravarr]) on the EXIFTool parsing. I added support in TIKA-1639 for this, but one thing Ray's code-based work did that my config oriented work didn't is allow for renaming extracted metadata key names to better support having consistent metadata across parsers.
> Here's one way to do it:
> ExternalParser could have a config section like so:
> {code:xml}
> <aliases>
>   <metadata key="foo" alias="bar"/>
>   <metadata key="foo2" alias="bar2"/>
> </aliases>
> {code}
> Then this could be used to rename metadata keys.
> I'll implement that in this issue.
