If you find that you have needs that are too use-case-specific to fold into
Tika, you can easily create your own parser/modification of one of our parsers
within the Tika framework. [1] As someone who learned the hard way from doing
my own custom content extraction work before drinking the Tika koolaid, I
highly encourage going with the one abstraction until it fails you and then
either modifying Tika through patches/issues or creating your own custom
parsers and using those within the Tika framework.

Y, please.
