Nick Burch commented on TIKA-864: --------------------------------- If we did store them on a ThreadLocal, then how would we allow them to be cleaned up? For an example, Tomcat will give you warnings if you leave behind Thread Locals, so we'd need to give a way to clean them up that someone using Tika inside a webapp could use. > Metadata.formatDate should use ThreadLocal > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: TIKA-864 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-864 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: metadata > Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki > > Currently this is a synchronized method that uses a single instance of > DateFormat.
