Andrzej Bialecki commented on TIKA-863:
----------------------------------------
I see your point, it makes sense - no hidden surprises. However, I think the
part of the patch that simply checks whether an existing AutoDetectParser has
been provided and uses it if present, is still useful and makes a huge
difference.
> MailContentHandler should not create AutoDetectParser on each call

>
> MailContentHandler is called from RFC822Parser, and it creates
> AutoDetectParser on each call to parse(...). The process of creating
> AutoDetectParser involves reading TikaConfig (not cached), which in turn
> involves parsing XML config files. Apart from the fact that this process is
> wasteful and heavy, in addition in a highly concurrent setup it leads to
> multiple threads blocking on SAX parser creation.
