> While working on TIKA-605, I was trying to use ExternalParsers and I came
> across an interesting use case. What if there are so many met keys that
> specifying all of them by hand as individual regexs would be repetitive, and
> tedious. What if the met key itself could also be specified by a regex, e.g.,
> we just take the first group to be the key, and then the next group would be
> the actual value? I ran across this in parsing GDAL output and so a very
> simple improvement to the ExternalParsers Map<Pattern, String> map would be
> to allow it to take e.g., null or "" Strings and then take that to mean that
> the Pattern specifies *both* the key name *and* the key value.
> I've got a patch I'll upload all tests pass and I need this to get TIKA-605
> in and done.
