Jan Høydahl commented on TIKA-568:
----------------------------------
This will help short-term by giving user better control over the threshold. But
it will still be an absolute "internal" value with its own problems - very hard
to tune it so that it works well for general purpose.
Long term, TIKA-369 and TIKA-496 should be solved, allowing us to compute a
more reliable measure of how certain a classification is.

> LanguageIdentifier.isReasonablyCertain() hardcodes a threshold for language
> detection, which is fine, except applications should be allowed to decide
> what threshold suits them. For instance, how was 0.022 decided?
