@olegz my initial intention was that the "TESS_DATA_PATH" and the
"TessdataDirectoryValidator" being a required PropertyDescriptor would catch
those instances where users tried to use this processor without the native
system dependencies installed. You bring up a good point however since really
all this would do is check that the Tesseract dictionary files are present
which certainly doesn't mean that the native libraries will be there as well.
This doesn't cover the unit test cases however. I like your point about
creating a throw away Tesseract instance to check if the dependencies are
present. I will add something like that.
> Tesseract OCR Processor

> Key: NIFI-1815
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1815
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jeremy Dyer
> Assignee: Jeremy Dyer
> Attachments: 0006-changes-to-the-OCR-processor.patch,
> nifi_1815_1.x_patch.zip
>
>
> This ticket is a follow-up to NIFI-1718 minus the use of the Tika library
> Expose OCR capabilities through a new processor which uses the Tesseract
> library. Use of this processor would require that Tesseract be installed on
> the NiFi host. Since the processor will have a system dependency care must be
> taken to ensure that the overall NiFi cluster continues to function properly
> in the absence of the Tesseract system dependency even though the OCR
> processor itself will be unable to perform its duties. In the event that the
> system dependencies are not detected the processor should display a
> validation warning rather than failing or preventing the NiFi instance from
> booting properly.
> Properties expose to configure Tesseract
> tesseractPath - Path to tesseract installation folder, if not on system path.
> language - Language ID (e.g. "eng"); language dictionary to be used.
> pageSegMode - Tesseract page segmentation mode, defaults to 1.
> minFileSizeToOcr - Minimum file size to submit file to OCR, defaults to 0.
> maxFileSizeToOcr - Maximum file size to submit file to OCR, defaults to
> Integer.MAX_VALUE.
> timeout - Maximum time (in seconds) to wait for the OCR process termination;
> defaults to 120.
