[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1466) Enable overriding of mimetype glob pattern definitions

["Luis Filipe Nassif (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Luis Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-1466:
------------------------------------------

We have hit this again. We encountered some MTS videos and tried to define a mimetype for them, but already exists a model/vnd.mts mimetype declaring *.MTS glob pattern. I think definitions in custom-mimetypes.xml files should override the built-in Tika ones. What do you think fellow devs?

> I think it is important to enable an overriding of the default tika-mimetypes.xml glob pattern definitions within a custom-mimetypes.xml. Currently, you can not define in a custom mimetype an already used glob pattern, even if you redefine in custom-mimetypes.xml the first mimetype using the conflicting glob pattern. The same extension can be used by different applications in different domains or datasets.
