Provide multiple output formats in extract-only mode for tika handler
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1274
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1274
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Peter Wolanin
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4
The proposed feature is to accept a URL parameter when using extract-only mode
to specify an output format. This parameter might just overload the existing
"ext.extract.only" so that one can optionally specify a format, e.g.
false|true|xml|text where true and xml give the same response (i.e. xml
remains the default)
I had been assuming that I could choose among possible tika output
formats when using the extracting request handler in extract-only mode
as if from the CLI with the tika jar:
-x or --xml Output XHTML content (default)
-h or --html Output HTML content
-t or --text Output plain text content
-m or --metadata Output only metadata
However, looking at the docs and source, it seems that only the xml
option is available (hard-coded) in ExtractingDocumentLoader.java
{code}
serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, new OutputFormat("XML", "UTF-8", true));
{code}
Providing at least a plain-text response seems to work if you change the
serializer to a TextSerializer (org.apache.xml.serialize.TextSerializer).
