Chris Harris commented on SOLR-284:
-----------------------------------
A few comment on the ExtractingDocumentLoader:
* I think I like where this is going.
* Currently the default is ext.ignore.und.fl (IGNORE_UNDECLARED_FIELDS) ==
false, which means that if Tika returns a metadata field and you haven't made
an explicit mapping from the Tika fieldname to your Solr fieldname, then Solr
will throw an exception and your document add will fail. This doesn't seem
sound very robust for a production environment, unless Tika will only ever use
a finite list of metadata field names. (That doesn't sound plausible, though I
admit I haven't looked into it.) Even in that case, I think I'd rather not have
to set up a mapping for every possible field name in order to get started with
this handler. Would true perhaps be a better default?
* ext.capture / CAPTURE_FIELDS: Do you have a use case in mind for this
feature, Grant? The example in the patch is of routing text from <div> tags to
one Solr field while routing text from other tags to a different Solr field.
I'm kind of curious when this would be useful, especially keeping in mind that,
in general, Tika source documents are not HTML, and so when <div> tags are
generated they're as much artifacts of Tika as reflecting anything in the
underlying document. (You could maybe ask a similar question about ext.inx.attr
/ INDEX_ATTRIBUTES.)
