             Summary: Tika parser for SEG-Y files and new MIME type application/segy
                 Key: TIKA-1843
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1843
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: mime, parser
            Reporter: Giovanni Usai
            Priority: Minor


This ticket refers to the parsing of SEG-Y files (extensions .seg, .segy and .sgy). 
The SEG-Y format is used to store seismic data, you can find more information here http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2001/of01-326/HTML/FILEFORM.HTM.

I have:
- added a new MIME type application/segy matching the file name extensions .segy, .seg and .sgy.
- created a new SEGYParser, matching that MIME type.

In order to parse the SEG-Y files, I am using a modified version of the sigrun code (available under Apache license, here https://github.com/mikhail-aksenov/sigrun). Notably I have done a fix and changed some method signatures to be able to read from a ReadableByteChannel instead of FileChannel.
For the moment I have put it directly into the new Tika's segy package. Is this the right thing to do or should I reference it as external library thus modifying the pom.xml?

Thanks and best regards,
Giovanni
