[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1205) Allow PDFParser to fallback to other parser if there is an exception
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=13845398#comment-13845398 ] Hong-Thai Nguyen commented on TIKA-1205: Just a (newbie) question, why limit only on PDFParser, not for any other parser ? I agree that fallback is necessary when having exception. But, the worst case is infinitive loop happens when parsing a document. For these two purposes, we would generalize to handle exception and timeout properly in a wrapper ? Allow PDFParser to fallback to other parser if there is an exception Key: TIKA-1205 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1205 Project: Tika Issue Type: Improvement Components: parser Reporter: Tim Allison Assignee: Tim Allison Priority: Trivial Fix For: 1.5 With TIKA-1201, there is now an option to use PDFBox's NonSequentialPDFParser instead of the traditional parser for parsing PDF files. Following the description in PDFBOX-1199, it would be useful to allow fallback to the classic parser if NonSequentialPDFParser throws an IOException. For the sake of symmetry, I propose a boolean useParserFallbackOnException parameter. If this parameter is true, and if Tika's PDFParser is using the classic parser, Tika will fallback to the NonSequentialPDFParser if there is an IOException; if this parameter is true and if Tika's PDFParser is using the NonSequentialPDFParser it will fallback to the classic parser if there is an IOException. Many thanks to Hong-Thai for championing the addition of the added NonSequentialPDFParser capability in TIKA-1201, and many thanks to Timo for PDFBox's NonSequentialPDFParser (PDFBOX-1199)! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)

TIKA-456 is the existing issue for general timeout capability. I agree that it would be great to add. TIKA-1205 is a very narrowly defined improvement for PDFParser.
