Do we still need the LoadErrorHandler for TikaConfig 2.x? IIRC, we added that so that folks who didn't want a dependency could prevent the loading of the dependency and then silence complaints -- if set to ignore.
Would we just swap to throwing an Exception if a parser can't be found / loaded? With the changes to the more modular parser packaging, that seems ok to me.
Only related question - what do we do if someone gives us a Tika Config that references a Parser that doesn't exist? That now seems much more likely than getting a service file entry for a parser we don't have. eg someone specifies PDFParser in their config with a bunch of parameters / options, but didn't include tika-parser-pdf-module on the classpath. Warn? Error? Ignore?
