> Key: TIKA-2439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2439
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: languageidentifier
> Affects Versions: 1.17
> Reporter: Karl Richter
> Fix For: 1.17
>
>
> In an intuitive usage of
> {code:java}
> LanguageDetector languageDetector =
> LanguageDetector.getDefaultLanguageDetector();
> List<LanguageResult> languageResults =
> languageDetector.detectAll(someNonEmptyString);
> {code}
> `org.apache.tika.langdetect.OptimaizeLangDetector` might/will (?) be chosen
> as default detector, but since there's no call to
> `LanguageDetector.loadModels()` `LanguageDetector.detector` is `null` in
> `detectAll` which causes an unhelpful error situation which one has to
> investigate in the code. A simple check whether `detector` is `null` and
> throwing an `IllegalStateException("models haven't been loaded yet (forgot to
> call loadModels?")` would be much more intuitive.
> If that corresponds to the expected behaviour (it's my first week with Tika),
> I can provide a patch or pull request.
