> Add Metadata Extraction to Arbitrary Parsers

> Key: TIKA-1420

> Fix For: 1.7

>
> Suppose you wish to extract information from arbitrary file types and add it
> to a Metadata Object. This type of task is best handled by a... Handler. But,
> Handlers do not have access to the Metadata Object passed to a Parser.
> So, I see a few ways we could do using existing functionality.
> 1) Make an intermediate XML representation of the desired metadata in a
> handler, then convert the XML to the Metadata after parsing.
> 2) Create a second Parser which extracts the desired information.
> a) Assume the Handler passed to this Parser is already filled with
> content. So, we could simply get whatever content from the Handler and
> populate the Metadata directly.
> b) Create a new Stream in the first Parser to pass to the second, which
> in turn populates the Metadata.
> None of these options seem ideal. Is there a better way to handle this
> scenario? Or, can we create some sort of... wrapper for a Handler which can
> accept a Metadata Object to populate directly?
