Nick Burch commented on TIKA-845:
---------------------------------
I think the current logic isn't quite correct. Rather than ending up with a
proper multivalued metadata object, we end up with a single string of comma
separated values, which seems wrong to me
What I've done is fix up the logic, which allows for what looks to be a cleaner
way to check for duplicates
I've also fixed up the single unit test that depending on the old comma
concatination, DcXMLParserTest, to now check for the correct multivalued
approach
I've committed this in r1234873.
> Check for Existing Value in Multi-Value Fields in XML Metadata Handler

> The XML Abstract metdata handler should check for an existing value for
> multi-valued fields as well as simple text fields.
> Similar metadata may be stored in multiple fields in the source and a
> developer may choose to map several source fields to the same tika field, in
> which case no check is made for duplicates of existing delimited values.
> For example, a developer may want to dump any values contained in legacy IPTC
> keywords and dc:subject into tika keywords. If IPTC keywords =
> ['rock','tree','dog'] and dc:subject = ['rock','tree','K9'] then currently
> tika keywords = ['rock','tree','dog','rock','tree','K9'] instead of the
> desired ['rock','tree','dog','K9'].
