[jira] [Created] (TIKA-4474) Exception on zip-xml based office files with large entries

Manish S N created TIKA-4474:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Exception on zip-xml based office files with large entries
                 Key: TIKA-4474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4474
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 3.2.2
         Environment: OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64 
Host: Precision 5560 
Kernel: 6.8.0-71-generic 
Shell: zsh 5.9 
Terminal: kitty 
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-11850H (16) @ 4.800GHz 
GPU: Intel TigerLake-H GT1 [UHD Graphics] 
Memory: 12574MiB / 15711MiB 
            Reporter: Manish S N
         Attachments: testRecordFormatExceeded.xlsx

When we try to parse ooxml office files with an entry which expands to larger than 100MB we get RecordFormatException from poi's IO Utils.

Eg: a large spreadsheet (attached on such file; the attached excel file is about 12mb but has a single sheet that expands to over 300 mb)

This is caused when we use InputStream based TikaInputStream and not when we use a file based one.

This is caused by poi IOUtils' limit of 100MB for a zip entry while we try to make an OPCPackage out of the input stream we passed

Exception:

Solution:

To solve it without having to override that byte array max value and compromising anymore ram,

Just like for ODF we can force spooling the files beforehand for ooxml files too. This ensures minimum load on ram and increase in performance too

the performance test i did for a similar issue is also for msofflice files. and the same issue has reasons to move to spooling entirely
