Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-284:
--------------------------------------
Some initial thoughts on moving forward:
I think we can add some generic functionality here via the request params:
1. Tika can provide a lot of metadata about a document. By metadata, I mean
things like the actual author, pages, etc. as provided by the document, not the
hardcoded metadata in the http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateRichDocuments. The
hardcoded metadata is also useful and should be retained. With these, we then
need a way to map fields from Tika's metadata to Solr fields. If no mapping is
specified, it tries to use the Tika metadata name as the field name. If that
doesn't exist, then we can rely on dynamic fields or we can allow for a param
that passes in the name of a default field to map to.
2. We can auto detect the mime type or allow for it to be passed in. Thus,
stream.type becomes optional, but is still useful.
3. Tika provides a mechanism for implementing your own SAX ContentHandler and
passing that in. I will likely make this pluggable such that people can
provide there own. I _think_ this would allow people to make even further
refinements to the content (i.e. splitting on paragraphs or other things like
that?????)
I should have a start of a patch today or tomorrow.
