I need to build a search engine for metadata stored in binary resources, so Nutch & Tika are my first choice.
What I hope to find out before plunging too deep is whether it's possible for Nutch/Tika to only process part of the file, in practice the header. What "header" is depends on the actual resource type, in all my cases, however, it's about the first few KB in a file that can be much larger. I'm not going to store the actual resource so I don't need to read it in its entirety. Therefore, it makes sense to only read the first few K. Is this possible with Tika? Thanks, JL
