Tika 2.0?
All,
We're getting some increasing deltas btwn the 2.0 and trunk branches. Many of these are my fault; I gave up making updates to 2.0 around April/May, I think.
What would people think of punting on some of the desired goals of 2.0 (e.g. chaining parsers, more structured but still simple metadata) and releasing 2.0 soonish...say 2.0-BETA end of September?
We've been able to make some major improvements to Tika without breaking backwards compatibility. We _might_ be able to do that with the outstanding issues for 2.0 when someone has time.
We could also do the upgrade to jdk 8 with Tika 2.0.
If this sounds reasonable, I propose creating a 1.x branch from trunk for 1.x maintenance and then reworking trunk to the 2.x structure that Bob Paulin so elegantly worked out. I figure we can either copy/paste from trunk to the current 2.x (and _hope_ we get all the updates) or use Bob's 2.0 as a model for restructuring trunk. At this point, I'd prefer the second option. The key here is to switch "trunk" to 2.0 so that we all have the mindset that 2.0 is what we're focused on.
The main benefit of this proposal is that we'd have a more modular Tika soon.
What do you think?
Best,
Tim

I am cool to finally get on the 2.0 kool aid and execute the plan as described by Tim

BTW, one *very* important thing to do *before* we make the steps below would be
to look very closely at the wiki and all the documentation that has been written with
1.x in mind and either update it or make sure it still applies to our new master after the
2.x merge, and 1.x maintenance branch creation.
Cheers,
Chris

Tim,
+1 You've done an admirable job of dual maintenance but it sounds like
it became a heavy tax on development. Releasing would allow us to get
back to "trunk" based development again. Then we could focus on porting
any missed patches and start looking for any regressions. I also like
the idea of picking up Java 8 as many other projects are starting to do
this.

Just so it's clear are we going to:
1) Rename the 2.0 branch over to master
or
2) Re-apply the changes on master.
I recall Chris' preference was 1 which would be quicker. However there is very likely missed patches. 2 will be more time consuming but it would be more likely to include all the most recent code. I'm open to either. Not sure how far out of date 2.0 branch is so I defer to Tim on the risk of going with #1.

I'd strongly advocate for 2. I _think_ the hard work was laying out the general structure and adding the ProxyParser workaround. Copying and pasting/reworking into that structure will be:

All,
We're getting some increasing deltas btwn the 2.0 and trunk branches. Many of these are my fault; I gave up making updates to 2.0 around April/May, I think.

We've been able to make some major improvements to Tika without breaking backwards compatibility. We _might_ be able to do that with the outstanding issues for 2.0 when someone has time.
We could also do the upgrade to jdk 8 with Tika 2.0.

Hi Tim
Having a new major 2.0 master is a good idea IMHO. It will take time to
make it final but it's better to finally make it 'mainstream' and start
having new ideas realized or finalized...

I figure we can either copy/paste from trunk to the current 2.x (and _hope_ we get all the updates) or use Bob's 2.0 as a model for restructuring trunk. At this point, I'd prefer the second option. The key here is to switch "trunk" to 2.0 so that we all have the mindset that 2.0 is what we're focused on.
