Text extraction of password protected files
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2480
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib - Solr Cell (Tika extraction)
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: Shinichiro Abe
            Priority: Minor


Proposal:
There are password-protected files. PDF, Office documents in 2007 format/97 
format.
These files are posted using SolrCell.
We do not have to read these files if we do not know the reading password of 
files.
So, these files may not be extracted text.
My requirement is that these files should be processed normally without 
extracting text, and without throwing exception.

This background:
Now, when you post a password-protected file, solr returns 500 server error.
Solr catches the error in ExtractingDocumentLoader and throws TikException.

I use ManifoldCF.
If the solr server responds 500, ManifoldCF judge is that "this
document should be retried because I have absolutely no idea what
happened".
And it attempts to retry posting many times without getting the password.

In the other case, my customer posts the files with embedded images.
Sometimes it seems that solr throws TikaException of unknown cause.
He wants to post just metadata without extracting text, but makes him stop 
posting by the exception.
