Lewis John McGibbney commented on TIKA-1607:
--------------------------------------------
[~chrismattmann], yep I will scope it out and make an attempt to get the
preliminary patch together. I've finished the
tika-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/sax/LibPhonenumberExtractingContentHandler.java
so need to submit this refactoring first so that it is clear.
> Introduce new HashMap<String, Object> data structure for persitsence of Tika

> Key: TIKA-1607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1607
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core, metadata
> Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
> Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.9
>
>
> I am currently working implementing more comprehensive extraction and
> enhancement of the Tika support for Phone number extraction and metadata
> modeling.
> Right now we utilize the String[] multivalued support available within Tika
> to persist phone numbers as
> {code}
> Metadata: String: String[]
> Metadata: phonenumbers: number1, number2, number3, ...
> {code}
> I would like to propose we extend multi-valued support outside of the
> String[] paradigm by implementing a more abstract Collection of Objects such
> that we could consider and implement the phone number use case as follows
> {code}
> Metadata: String: Object
> {code}
> Where Object could be a Collection<HashMap<String/Property,
> HashMap<String/Property, String/Int/Long>> e.g.
> {code}
> Metadata: phonenumbers: [(+162648743476: (LibPN-CountryCode : US),
> (LibPN-NumberType: International), (etc: etc)...), (+1292611054:
> LibPN-CountryCode : UK), (LibPN-NumberType: International), (etc: etc)...)
> (etc)]
> {code}
> There are obvious backwards compatibility issues with this approach...
> additionally it is a fundamental change to the code Metadata API. I hope that
> the <String, Object> Mapping however is flexible enough to allow me to model
> Tika Metadata the way I want.
> Any comments folks? Thanks
