Nick Burch commented on TIKA-815:
---------------------------------
FYI Tika does provide the Fork Parser for cases when you want to ensure the
parsing can't affect the parent application
> Tika parsers should handle failures more gracefully

> Key: TIKA-815
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-815
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Jerome Lacoste
>
> We encountered an OOM while parsing a Word document. We will report the
> failure to POI.
> This raises the question about the general robustness of the parsers.
> We've written a little test tool that reproduces the aforementionned OOM and
> other potential issues that will be reported to the individual parsers. It's
> the responsibility of the parsers to handle those failures gracefully.
> Yet it's easy to write generic tools at the Tika level to make these kind of
> tests.
> So we also submit this issue here to start a discussion on what role should
> Tika have when it comes to validate its parsers.
