The current Tika APIs are already pretty good, and I'd hate to complicate the
clean Parser interface with extra methods for different kinds of inputs.
Instead I'm thinking of adding a TikaInputStream utility class that extends
InputStream with methods that allow accessing the input document as a File.
The TikaInputStream class would have at least the following construtors:
public TikaInputStream(InputStream stream) { ... }
public TikaInputStream(File file) { ... }

+100!! :) I could have used this for TIKA-400 since NetCDF expects (and only
provides means) to deal with input as a File. This happens a lot where
streaming doesn't make a lot of sense in data-intensive files with huge memory
footprint...
Cheers,
Chris

> Some of our parsers need to be able to go back and forth within a source
> document, so need either a file or (for smaller documents) an in-memory
> buffer that contains the full document. Currently we use temporary files for
> such cases, which in some cases means doing an extra copy of a file before it
> gets parsed. We should come up with some way for clients to pass in a file or
> a memory buffer if one is available.
