I'd rather go with:
void parse(InputStream stream, ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata)
throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException;
I.e. the parser invokes a series of callback methods on the given
handler instance. This way the parse result never needs to be
contained in a single object.
