Tilman Hausherr commented on TIKA-1300:
---------------------------------------
I'm not doing much with text extraction, but what we could need (and sorry if
that is what you already do) is a diff between versions. i.e. that the
extraction results are compared with a "current gold standard". And this could
be done _with the snapshot versions_ of PDFBox and the other components you
use. This way you would quickly notice if you get worse or better results, and
don't have to wait for a release to discover a regression.
> Switch default PDFBox parser to NonSequentialParser

> On TIKA-1298, [~tilman] recommended switching Tika's default to the
> NonSequentialParser. We added a parameter to use the NonSequentialParser in
> TIKA-1201, and there's some good discussion there about the benefits.
> Is the community in favor of switching the default now?
