Chris Harris commented on SOLR-284:
-----------------------------------
I'm thinking it would be handy if RichDocumentRequestHandler could support
indexing text and HTML files, in addition to the fancier formats (pdf, doc,
etc.). That way I could use RichDocumentRequestHandler for all my indexing
needs (except commits and optimizes), rather than use it for for some doc types
but still have to use XmlUpdateRequestHandler for text and HTML docs. Would
anyone else find this useful?
I skimmed the source, and adding support for text files looks trivial. (It's
just a pass-through.) And if you had this, then I guess you'd have at least one
version of HTML support for free; in particular, you could upload your HTML
file to RichDocumentRequestHandler, telling the handler that the document is in
plain text format, and then strip off the HTML tags later by using the
HTMLStripStandardTokenizer in your schema.xml.
Alternatively, RichDocumentRequestHandler could provide its own explicit HTML
to text conversion. There would probably be some advantages to this, but I'm
not sure exactly what they would be. One, I guess, would be that you could use
tokenizers that didn't make use of HTMLStripReader.
