Tika has been around for ages, and I remember many of the early versions (probably up to 1.2 or 1.3) would completely explode if you threw in a PDF with some UTF-8 characters, or Word documents with many foreign/non-ASCII languages.
Thankfully nowadays the problem I run into the most is memory exhaustion when some client uploads a 500+ MB PDF and expects my cheap Solr SaaS (https://hostedapachesolr.com https://hostedapachesolr.com) to handle extraction for these giant files!
- arafalov 6y agoYeah, we are seeing the same problem in Solr User Group discussions. That Tika integration will need to change to something else (with Standalone Tika). Of course, Drupal's Solr module already allows to provide separate Tika, but I guess there is no equivalent Tika SAAS service, so they just point it all at your service.
