Nick C commented on TIKA-1513:
------------------------------
Some of my checks maybe a little strict because you can have extra bytes at the
end of file and after the field headers (I haven't personally seen any files
like that though) I figure in those cases hopefully the file extension glob
matches. I put some TODOs that can be changed to call jdbf for validating the
DBF file type and field type. Feel free to do what you want with the code
https://gist.github.com/fxfixer/e54f86095a548cbfb8aeb948ff77a41b
I used the jdbf v3 branch and here are the bugs I noticed. If [~iryndin] is
interested I'll create a pull request.
Calls to input.read(byte[]…) should use IOUtils.readFully. (Sometimes if the
dbf is in a zip file, the read call returns less than the requested bytes)
DBFMetadataReader.readHeader()
- Needs to call IOUtils.readFully when reading headerBytes
- NPE if DbfFileTypeEnum.fromInt returns null (Maybe throw an
unsupported exception?)
- Reads record count as int instead of unsigned int
DBFRecordIterator
- Unnecessary call to Arrays.fill to set byte[] bytes to 0 (Not really
a bug)
- Needs to call IOUtils.readFully when reading recordBuffer;
Some encoding names are not correct in CharsetHelper.getCharsetByByte
936 = cp936 // Chinese (PRC, Singapore) Windows
932 = cp932 // Japanese Windows
1255 = Windows-1255 // Hebrew Windows
1256 = Windows-1256 // Arabic Windows
1250 = Windows-1250 // Eastern European Windows
1251 = Windows-1251 // Russian Windows
1254 = Windows-1254 // Turkish Windows
1253 = Windows-1253 // Greek Windows

> I just came across an Apache licensed dbf parser that is available on
> [maven|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jamel/dbf/dbf-reader/0.1.0/dbf-reader-0.1.0.pom].
> Let's add dbf parsing to Tika.
> Any other recommendations for alternate parsers?
