Alexey Pismenskiy commented on TIKA-1351:
-----------------------------------------
Any update on this ticket?
Previous comment mentions that there is a dummy ContentHandler - what is the
name of this class?.
But It would be nice to ONLY extract metadata and do not waste the resources to
parse the content in some cases.
> Parser implementations should accept null content handlers

> Key: TIKA-1351
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1351
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin
> Priority: Minor
>
> Applications which want to let users search documents based only on their
> metadata do not need to get the content parsed.
> The only workaround I've found so far is to pass a no op content handler
> which can ignore the content events but it does not stop the parser such as
> PDFParser from parsing the content.
> Proposal: update parser API docs to let implementers know ContentHandler can
> be null and update the shipped implementations to parse the metadata only if
> ContentHandler is null
