I'm not aware of such a list.  Part of the challenge is that we don't know when 
our dependencies might choose to create a temp file.

Sorry!

Apologies for bumping such an old thread, but is there an official list 
somewhere of those filetypes that require the temporary file being created?

Thanks!

Only for certain formats, generally where the underlying parsing library 
requires a file for random-access

For some files, no, not without re-writing other open source libraries

For most, it isn't needed and Tika won't do it
