Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7632:
-----------------------------------
Let me draw attention to my PR [https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3670] which
introduces the concept of Extraction Backends to the extraction handler.
It implements the "local" existing code path as one backend.
And it adds a new "tikaserver" backend implementation that delegates parsing to
a remote Tika Server, eliminating the resource-hungry and dangerous in-process
parsing in Solr itself.
The PR is still a draft with many rough edges, but proves that it can serve as
a drop-in replacement for the "local" backend, supporting "extractOnly",
"capture", "xPath" and the rest of the update-params users use today.
The plan is to first make the PR production ready, then split it in to parts.
# The first part is the backend interface and local backend, with no new
features. Merge it to branch_9x as well.
# The second part is adding the new code and backport to 9x, while at the same
time deprecating the local backend in 9x.
# Third part is to remove the entire tika java dependency in main branch,
leaving only the new implementation.
Thoughts?

> It's a pain to upgrade Tika's jars all the times when we release, and if Tika
> fails it messes up the ExtractingRequestHandler (e.g., the document type
> caused Tika to fail, etc). A more reliable way and also separated, and easier
> to deploy version of the ExtractingRequestHandler would make a network call
> to the Tika JAXRS server, and then call Tika on the Solr server side, get the
> results and then index the information that way. I have a patch in the works
> from the DARPA Memex project and I hope to post it soon.
