Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-284:
------------------------------------
I haven't run this patch, but have a few questions...
What is the *general* approach to extract a lucene document (list of fields)
from a PDF? Word? Powerpoint?
Is this just access to a few common fields like author, keywords, text, etc?
Is this something that realistically would need to be custom for each case?
Perhaps it makes sense to add a contrib section for this sort of stuff. It
seems weird to add 10 library dependencies to the core distribution. How does
nutch handle this?
