Josh Burchard updated TIKA-3643:
--------------------------------
Description:
[~jmssiera] wrote up the enhancement request TIKA-3325 where he originally
requested that the number of bytes be passed as the write limit. I see that
issue was marked as Resolved, but writeLimit is number of chars instead of
number of bytes.
I have a use-case where the consumer side (an indexer) has a control for the
maximum number of bytes to index. When I'm using the writeLimit header with
Tika and I'm extracting text from a document with mixed ASCII and multi-byte
characters I can't get back exactly, for example, 6MB worth of text because I
don't know a-priori what chars will be in the file.
My ask here is for a new control, maybe "writeLimitBytes" where the number of
characters returned breaks on the last coherent character. Therefore the
returned text would be <= writeLimitBytes but would more or less be close to
that value.
