Boris Petrov commented on TIKA-2849:
------------------------------------
[~tallison], well yes, reading the entire stream is one thing, but copying it
to a file and then operating on it is another. In my case parsing is not a
must, so I would prefer for it to fail or not start at all if the stream is
going to be spooled to disk. A `BoundedInputStream` makes sense actually. I
will try that. Thanks!

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.20
> Reporter: Boris Petrov

> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.21

>
> When doing "tika.detect(stream, name)" and the stream is a "TikaInputStream",
> execution gets to "TikaInputStream#getPath" which does a "Files.copy(in,
> path, REPLACE_EXISTING);" which is very, very bad. This input stream could
> be, as in our case, an input stream from a network file which is tens or
> hundreds of gigabytes large. Copying it locally is a huge waste of resources
> to say the least. Why does it do that and can I make it not do it? Or is this
> something that has to be fixed in Tika?
