Stephen Duncan Jr commented on TIKA-521:
----------------------------------------
Using the POI API directly, and using their event-based model, I was able to to
parse the file using less than 20MB of heap space (less than 64MB of heap size
allocated). Can Tika be modified to use the event based API when extracting
text? Here's sample code used:
final String filePath = "C:\\Users\\stephen.duncan\\tmp\\memory-test.xlsx";
XSSFEventBasedExcelExtractor extractor = new
XSSFEventBasedExcelExtractor(filePath);
String text = extractor.getText();
System.out.println(text);

> I have several XSLX files I'm trying to parse with Tika that are failing with
> an OutOfMemoryError even when using a large heap size. For instance the
> attached 1.26MB excel file fails using a 512MB heap.
