-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.0.0
Resolution: Fixed
> Add a progress timeout feature
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-4674
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4674
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
>
> When processing a 100 page pdf that requires OCR, we want to allow a LOT of
> time, but we also don't want to allow a lot of time for some file that
> triggers an infinite loop in a parser.
> I propose adding a progress timeout feature that will be enforced in
> tika-pipes. We'll update the progress counter in ocr parsers and anywhere
> else where we expect processing to take a while.
> TotalTaskTimeout will still be operative.
> So, one scenario would be totaltasktimeout is an hour, with progress timeout
> set for 2 minutes. If a call to tesseract takes more than 2 minutes, then the
> job is stopped. Or if a rogue parser goes for longer than 2 minutes (and the
> progress counter is not in the loop where it is going rogue!), then that will
> timeout in 2 minutes.
> We could then get rid of timeouts on the external parsers, and then have them
> read these global timeouts, with a focus on the progress timeout.
