Streaming parser for OpenDocument files
---------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-116
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-116
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
            Assignee: Jukka Zitting
             Fix For: 0.2-incubating


The current OpenOfficeParser first reads the entire meta.xml and content.xml 
files from the given OpenDocument zip into memory, then parses the in-memory 
files to DOM trees, merges the trees, and finally evaluates a number of XPath 
expressions against the resulting DOM tree to extract metadata and document 
content. All this requires quite a bit of memory and multiple passes over the 
document.

It would be better if the document could be streamed directly through zip and 
sax parsers without keeping a full copy of the document in memory or doing 
multiple passes over the document.
