I've run into one problem while testing Tika 1.8 with Bixo It involves a dependency issue involving (of course) Guava, since that project loves to break their API :(
The bixo-core jar has these transitive dependencies on various versions of Guava: Hadoop - 11.0.2 Cascading - 14.0.1 Tika-parsers - 10.0.1 cdm - 17.0 Everyone winds up using version 10.0.1 (note that Tika has a dependency on cdm, which wants to use 17.0) The problem is that Hadoop (for any recent version) uses an API from Guava's cache implementation that no longer exists: com.google.common.cache.CacheBuilder.build(Lcom/google/common/cache/CacheLoader;)Lcom/google/common/cache/LoadingCache; java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.cache.CacheBuilder.build(Lcom/google/common/cache/CacheLoader;)Lcom/google/common/cache/LoadingCache; at org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.CodecPool.createCache(CodecPool.java:62) at org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.CodecPool.<clinit>(CodecPool.java:74) at org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile$Writer.close(SequenceFile.java:1272) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SequenceFileOutputFormat$1.close(SequenceFileOutputFormat.java:79) So what this means is that anyone trying to use Tika with Hadoop will need to play games with the class loader to get the older version of Guava - though that can cause other issues if Hadoop (or Cascading, etc) rely on anything that's only in the newer Guava API. Guava 1.0.01 was released about 3.5 years ago; 11.0.2 was from about 3 years ago. So it seems like we should upgrade to at least 11.0.2 But I don't know if this is enough of an issue to require another RC. -- Ken PS - I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1606 to track this. > From: Tyler Palsulich > Sent: April 13, 2015 10:56:29am PDT > To: dev@tika.apache.org, u...@tika.apache.org > Subject: [VOTE] Apache Tika 1.8 Release Candidate #2 > > Hi Folks, > > A candidate for the Tika 1.8 release is available at: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/tika/ > > The release candidate is a zip archive of the sources in: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tika/tags/1.8-rc2/ > > The SHA1 checksum of the archive is > 5e22fee9079370398472e59082d171ae2d7fdd31. > > In addition, a staged maven repository is available here: > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachetika-1009 > > Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Tika 1.8.
