Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2096:
-----------------------------------
We may want to accelerate this and put it into Tika 1.15. I just found that
the MailContentHandler was supplying an AutoDetectParser, but the others
aren't. On TIKA-2159, I removed this from the MailContentHandler. Any
objections, if we add this to all parsers now?
> Tika 2.0 -- Supply AutoDetectParser for embedded documents if user forgets to
> pass it in via ParseContext

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
>
> Currently, if users don't specify a Parser.class or an
> EmbeddedDocumentExtractor in the ParseContext, then embedded documents will
> not be parsed. I propose that we add an AutoDetectParser automatically if a
> Parser or EmbeddedDocumentExtractor is not included in the ParseContext.
> If a user doesn't want to parse embedded objects, s/he could pass in an
> EmptyParser for the Parser.class.
> In short, let's make the default be "parse everything", and the user has to
> figure out how to parse only the container document if that's the desired
> behavior.
> This is a breaking change. I propose adding it to 2.0 only.
> We were bitten by this on tika-server (TIKA-1584). Solr (SOLR-7189) has been
> bitten by this. [Kite|https://github.com/kite-sdk/kite/issues/397] is still
> suffering from this.
