Luis Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-1946:
------------------------------------------
Thank you, Pascal!
I think it may be better to throw a TikaException when parsing unsupported
files, so client code will know that and can take other action, eg run a
fallback parser like Latin1StringsParser.
If the files have different magic it would be better to break the mimetype into
child ones and configure the parser only with the supported child mimetype.
