Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-59:
-----------------------------------

I think such diagnostic information is best handled with logging, and if we do 
have good cases where having the information is useful, then I think we have a 
good case of using logging within Tika.

> Include parser class name in Metadata object.

>          Components: general
>    Affects Versions: 0.1-incubator
>            Reporter: Keith R. Bennett
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 0.1-incubator

>
> It would be helpful to know which parser was used to parse a given document.  
> Some convenience methods eliminate the need for the user to make that 
> determination, so in that case there would be no way to know which parser was 
> used.
> This feature could be helpful in testing and debugging, both for ourselves 
> and for users.
> The class name could either be an entry in the Map (a property), or an 
> instance variable.
> If the Parser ever becomes an abstract class, the act of setting this value 
> could be done in the abstract class constructor, eliminating the need for 
> parser implementations to deal with this.
