> As discussed over the summer
> <http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Appending-Mime-Types-td3266434.html>
> there are legitimate cases for wanting to load in extra, custom mimetypes
> (and their matching rules) to Tika
> Discussions seem to conclude that the built in tika-mimetypes file should be
> used for common and public mimetypes, and people wanting to support
> additional public formats should open an issue to have them in the main file.
> People who want only a very restricted set of mimetypes can use a custom tika
> config with a limited, smaller mimetypes file
> For people who want to load one or two extra, likely custom mimetypes, we
> should provide a service loading system to pull in the extra mimetypes. This
> allows for the regular mimetypes file to be used for most files, and the
> extra custom ones merged in as needed. It also allows for a custom parser to
> provide the mimetype detection for the specific custom formats it handles
