[jira] [Updated] (TIKA-2656) Allow users to specify timeout for parsing and/or waiting in ForkParser

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tim Allison updated TIKA-2656:
------------------------------
    Description: 
We currently have a {{pulse}} in the ForkServer.  This roughly allows for timeouts, but, depending on the timing, the parser could run for nearly 2x as long as the {{pulse}}.  The other downside to our current reliance on {{pulse}} is that a parser could theoretically go forever as long as it outputs a byte within the {{pulse}} window.

Let's let users explicitly declare a max parse time, and a max wait time – how long should the server remain alive while waiting for a parse request.
