Parsing a text file omits last part?

[Public Network Services]

Hi...

I am trying to parse a plain text file using Tika but getting inconsistent
behavior.

More specifically, I have defined a simple handler as follows:

public class MyHandler extends DefaultHandler
{
     @Override
     public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) throws
SAXException
     {
        System.out.println(new String(ch));
     }
}

Then, I parse the file ("myfile.txt") as follows:

Tika tika = new Tika();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("myfile.txt");

Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
ContentHandler handler = new MyHandler();

Parser parser = new TXTParser();
ParseContext context = new ParseContext();

String mimeType = tika.detect(is);
metadata.set(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, mimeType);

tikaParser.parse(is, handler, metadata, context);


I would expect all the text in the file to be printed out on screen, but a
small part in the end is not. More specifically, the characters() callback
keeps reading 4,096 characters per callback but in the end it apparently
leaves out the last 5,083 characters of this particular file (which is a few
MB long), so it even goes beyond missing the last callback.

Also, testing on another, small file, which is about 5,000 characters long,
no callback seems to take place!

The MIME type is correctly detected as text/plain in both cases.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
