----------------------------------------

             Summary: Extraction should continue if an exception is hit visiting an embedded document
                 Key: TIKA-1074
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1074
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 1.4


Spinoff from TIKA-1072.

In that issue, a problematic document (still not sure if document is corrupt, or possible POI bug) caused an exception when visiting the embedded documents.

If I change Tika to suppress that exception, the rest of the document extracts fine.

So somehow I think we should be more robust here, and maybe log the exception, or save/record the exception(s) somewhere so after parsing the app could decide what to do about them ...
