Fair question….  So in digging more, the names changed between Tika 1 and Tika 
3, so we may have already caused that…

I dug more into it, and there may be some mapping from Tika 4 back to Tika 3 
that we could do.   Though it also might just be one of those “we can try for 
backcompat, but YMMV” and therefore we shouldn’t try it..   I pushed up a 
potential fix.

I’m also okay with saying Tika 4 is on Solr 11, and Tika 3 is on Solr 10.  I 
don’t anticipate many or any releases of Tika 3, so that means for Solr 10 we 
won’t get lots of updates that need applying.  And we can apply Tika 4 on main 
easily with the current Solrbot process as various Tika 4’s come out.
