> Hi,
> I encountered an issue in a production environment that cause a disk full
> error. :(
> Tika uses the PDFParser with the "forceParsing" boolean set to true in order
> to continue the parsing even if an error occurs.
> Two PDFs have an object number greater than the max int value so the
> readInt() method fails.
> Due to the "forceParsing" boolean, the parser try to go to the next object
> but it can't because on error the readInt method backtrack the read bytes and
> so
> the "skipToNextObj" method does nothing and we try to parse the same object
> indefinitely...
> The COSObjectKey object already uses a long as object numder, so we should
> read a long instead of an integer during the parsing process using a
> "readLong" method to manage too large objects numbers.
> Are you agreed with that ?
> BR,
> Eric
