Thank for feedback. Nothing we can't do with our code :) Guava is just 'facilities' make code more clear, shorter and sometime faster. I agree that this integration brings more dependencies, may create conflicts in end-users applications. Leave as it for now.

Also, especially in tika-core we've explicitly avoided any external dependencies to keep it as simple and easy as possible to include as a dependency in client applications. We've even gone as far as including copies of some Commons IO classes in org.apache.tika.io instead of referring to commons-io as a dependency. BR, Jukka Zitting
