             Summary: Allow RecursiveParserWrapper to catch exceptions from 
embedded documents
                 Key: TIKA-1611
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1611
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Tim Allison
            Assignee: Tim Allison
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.9


While parsing embedded documents, currently, if a parser hits an Exception, the 
parsing of the entire document comes to a grinding halt.  For some 
applications, it might be better to catch the exception at the attachment level.

The proposal would be to include the stack trace in the metadata object for 
that particular attachment.

The user will be able to specify whether or not to catch embedded exceptions, 
and the default will be to catch embedded exceptions.  This will be a small 
change to the legacy behavior.
