[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1612) Exceptions getting image data in PPT files

["Tim Allison (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1612?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14505335#comment-14505335 ] 

Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1612:
-----------------------------------

Not sure how we want to fix this.  To make this parallel to our handling of other embedded files, we'd just swallow the exception...I really don't like that option.

Recommendations?

> In numerous (~500) ppt files in govdocs1, we're getting zip exceptions (unknown compression method, bad block, etc) when Tika's HSLFExtractor calls {{getData()}} on an embedded image.
> Under normal circumstances (I just learned today...), if an attachment causes a RuntimeException, we are currently swallowing that in {{ParsingEmbeddedDocumentExtractor}}.
> However, because we're calling {{getData()}} before the embedded extractor takes over, if there is an exception there, the parse of the entire file fails.
