             Summary: Clean up timeout logic in 4.x
                 Key: TIKA-4813
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4813
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Tim Allison


Problem: Tika's timeout system was three incoherent knobs. A parser's own configured timeout got overwritten by an unrelated stall-detector setting. Timeouts couldn't compose across nesting (PDF → zip → OCR). A single timed-out subprocess could kill the whole worker JVM instead of just failing that one document.

Proposal: every external call gets min(what it asked for, time left on the task). ParseTimeout (new, in tika-core) holds that remaining-time clock per task, shared automatically across
  recursion. ProcessUtils/TikaHttpClient apply the rule internally and checkpoint the clock while waiting, so a legitimately slow call doesn't look like a hang. TikaTimeoutException is now catchable (was an uncaught  RuntimeException), so one slow embedded file gets recorded and skipped instead of aborting the whole document; running out of total time now truncates cleanly instead of crashing the JVM.
