> I've wondered where the many "apache-tika-" files in the temp directory came from. It turns out that they are all (or most) PDF files so I looked at the PDF parser module. After looking at the file sizes and getting a file name I focused on the test {{PDFParserTest.testSortByPosition()}} where the first 2 parse tests have a leftover file and the 3rd one doesn't.
> The difference is that in the third one, {{PDFParser.parse()}} gets a {{TikaInputStream}} as parameter. {{TikaInputStream().get()}} returns its parameter. But in the first two, it creates a new object, which is never closed. So the resource cleanup is never done.
> Adding
> {code}
> if (!(stream instanceof TikaInputStream)) {
> tstream.close();
> }
> {code}
> fixes this, i.e. no leftover files after running PDFParserTest.
> There's a null check in that method, but later the object is used without a null check. So either the null check isn't needed, or there is an NPE risk.
