[jira] [Updated] (TIKA-866) Invalid configuration file causes OutOfMemoryException

["Jukka Zitting (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-866?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jukka Zitting updated TIKA-866:
-------------------------------

    Summary: Invalid configuration file causes OutOfMemoryException  (was: Incomplete configuration file causes OutOfMemoryException)

The problem here aren't the missing mimetypes and detector entries but rather the fact that you're specifying the composite DefaultParser class in a <parser> element. When a DefaultParser instance is created, it tries to load the *default* configuration, which in this case leads to the infinite loop. The <parser> elements are designed only to list the actual format-specific Parser implementations, that composite parsers like DefaultParser or AutoDetectParser can then use as lower-level components.

> I tried to override a built-in parser according to the method described in issue TIKA-527. During testing this approach I used an incomplete configuration file (as far as I learned from a discussion on the mailing list also mimetypes and a detector should be specified):
> $ cat tika-config.xml
> <properties>
> <parsers>
> <parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser"/>
> </parsers>
> </properties>
> Using this configuration file causes an OutOfMemoryException:
> $ java -Dtika.config=tika-config.xml -jar tika-app-1.0.jar --list-parsers
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
