Chris Harris commented on SOLR-284:
-----------------------------------
I'm not sure this patch entirely reinvents the wheel, as it does most of the
heavy lifting with preexisting components, namely PDFBox, POI, and Solr's own
HTMLStripReader. It also has the advantage of already existing, whereas tying
Solr to Tika or Aperture would take additional effort.
Tika or Aperture do look really nice, though. The most obvious advantage these
projects have over this patch is that they can already extract text from more
file formats than this patch, and that the developers will probably continue to
add more file formats over time. Are you thinking of additional advantages on
top of this, Grant? Do you have any cool ideas about how Tika/Aperture's
metadata extraction facilities might be integrated into Solr? Is there a
potentially interesting interface between Aperture's crawling facilities and
Solr?
