--------------------------------------
Summary: Parser implementations should accept null content handlers
Key: TIKA-1351
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1351
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser
Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin
Priority: Minor
Applications which want to let users search documents based only on their
metadata do not need to get the content parsed.
The only workaround I've found so far is to pass a no op content handler which
can ignore the content events but it does not stop the parser such as PDFParser
from parsing the content.
Proposal: update parser API docs to let implementers know ContentHandler can be
empty and update the shipped implementations to parse the metadata only if
ContentHandler is null
