[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1466) Enable overriding of mimetype glob pattern definitions
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16389938#comment-16389938 ] Luis Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-1466: -- I thought about logging any custom-mimetype override applied, so the user will be warned about that. Maybe additionally creating a specific attribute in mimetype definition xml to configure it must override the default one instead of aborting. About multiple conflicting custom mimes from different (external) projetcs, Tika currently aborts and it is already a problem now. So I think it needs additional discussion and should not be addressed in the next release. Will copy/paste this discussion in the jira issue. But I would like to see fixed the detection of MTS videos, but it conflicts with another existing mime glob. Any workaround for this specific case? If yes, I can open a different ticket. > Enable overriding of mimetype glob pattern definitions > -- > > Key: TIKA-1466 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1466 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mime >Affects Versions: 1.6 >Reporter: Luis Filipe Nassif >Priority: Major > > I think it is important to enable an overriding of the default > tika-mimetypes.xml glob pattern definitions within a custom-mimetypes.xml. > Currently, you can not define in a custom mimetype an already used glob > pattern, even if you redefine in custom-mimetypes.xml the first mimetype > using the conflicting glob pattern.

>From [~gagravarr] on dev list:
{quote}What happens if you have two different custom files which both claim the
same glob?
We have historically been a bit stricter about built-in types overriding, in
part to avoid people doing silly things by mistake, and in part to push people
a bit more towards contributing fixes/enhancements for built-in types. I think
the latter is less of a thing today, as we've a lot more covered as standard,
so it's just the former we need to worry about.
How do we help people know when they have conflicting overrides (possibly from
different projects), help them sensibly merge or turn off Tika provided
magic+definitions, and to alert them to when their copied + customised version
probably wants updating following a tika upgrade giving a newer definition? Do
a better job of those than we currently do now, then I'm very happy to +1 it :)

We encountered some MTS videos and tried to define a mimetype for them, but already exists a model/vnd.mts mimetype declaring *.MTS glob pattern. I think definitions in custom-mimetypes.xml files should override the built-in Tika ones.
