This makes sense. I think providing an "all" jar with all the parsers
will be convenient for new developers. The modular parsers would give
more developers a means to insulate themselves from changes and
upgrades to other parsers. This is currently not available when all
of the parsers are combine. So my expectation would be that the jar
with all the parsers would be good for general applications or POC.
While the modules would target production deployments where developers
know what they want and would like to limit risk. Also agree that new
documentation will be required!

Perhaps we could start with a tika-advanced-bundle to gather
all of the nlp/advanced parsers? Or would this have to wait
for Tika 2.0?
I've noticed that there have been a lot fewer queries (on our
list, on stackoverflow, at events etc) caused by people missing
jars of late. Not sure of the message has got out there better,
the right posts are getting to the top of google, the
troubleshooting page has done its magic, or something else
entirely! But I'm now less worried about the impact of modular
parsers on newbies that I have been before
To try to avoid all the existing guidance (most of it external)
from going stale, I'd lean towards either keeping "tika-parsers"
as the full version, or make "tika-parsers" be an alias to
"tika-parsers-all", so that current behaviour remains
I'd also probably suggest we change the default load error handler
to warn/log, so that people by default will find out more quickly
that they've missed jars, and probably also have an extra load
error log/check which triggers in the event of 0 parser
definitions being found. People can turn that off if they want, as
now, but maybe the new default should be so that newbies tend to
get told quickly what they've done wrong!
Oh, and we'll need to update the troubleshooting page too for the
new bundles world :)
