So is this guaranteed, expected behavior? With a BufferedInputStream – I expect this
try (BufferedInputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file))) { System.out.printf("before - bytes available: %s", stream.available()); parser.parse(stream, handler, metadata, parseContext); System.out.printf("after - bytes available: %s%n", stream.available()); } before - bytes available: 10546620 after - bytes available: 0 But with a TikaInputStream, I get this Note that I’m purposing creating a FileInputStream first in order to hide the file information from the TikaInputStream, since in my normal use case, I’m dealing with a regular InputStream, not reading from a file try (TikaInputStream stream = TikaInputStream.get(new FileInputStream(file))) { System.out.printf("before - bytes available: %s, position: %s%n", stream.available(), stream.getPosition()); parser.parse(stream, handler, metadata, parseContext); System.out.printf("after - bytes available: %s, position: %s%n", stream.available(), stream.getPosition()); } before - bytes available: 10546620, position: 0 after - bytes available: 10546620, position: 0 From: Peter Kronenberg <peter.kronenb...@torch.ai> Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2021 11:28 AM To: user@tika.apache.org; talli...@apache.org Cc: lfcnas...@gmail.com Subject: RE: Re-using a TikaStream This email was sent from outside your organisation, yet is displaying the name of someone from your organisation.

I don’t know how big the streams are that I’ll be processing. Obviously, if they’re big, the keeping them in memory is not reasonable and disk is the only option. But for smaller streams, if it can do it all in memory, that’s obviously better. And for my use case, I don’t *always* have to re-read the stream.

Within the last year or so, we started using RereadableInputStream in one of the Microsoft format parsers so it is also getting some use now. If you absolutely can't afford to spool to disk, then give RereadableInputStream a try. The inputstreamfactories, in my mind, are somewhat work-arounds for other use cases, e.g. retrying/batch etc. On Tue, Feb 23, 2021 at 11:41 AM Peter Kronenberg <peter.kronenb...@torch.ai<mailto:peter.kronenb...@torch.ai>> wrote: So this might be moot, because it seems that TikaInputStream is already doing some magic and I’m not sure how. I was able to re-use the stream without doing anything special after a call to parse. And in fact, I displayed stream.available() and stream.position() before and after the call to parse, and the full stream was still available at position 0. What is TikaInputStream doing to make this happen? Just for some additional context, what I’m doing is running the file through Tika and then, depending on the file type, I want to do some additional non-tika processing. I thought that once the Tika parse was done, the stream would be used up. What is going on?

I didn’t realize I needed to write my own class to implement it. I was looking for some sort of existing framework. What is the purpose of the 2 InputStreamFactory classes: I was re-reading some emails with Nick Burch back around Dec 22-23 and maybe I mis-understood him, but it sounds like he was saying that TiksInputStream was smart enough to automatically spool the stream to disk to allow re-use. It seems to me that I need an extra pass through the data in order to save to disk. I’m not starting from a File, but from a stream. So if I need to read the stream twice, I really have to pass through the data 3 times, correct? Unless there is a way to save to disk during the first pass (try/catch removed for simplicity) tis = TikaInputSream.get(InputStream); file = tis.getFile(); <== extra pass tis = TikaInputStream.get(new MyInputStreamFactory(file)); // first real pass InputStream is = tis.getInputStreamFactory().getInputStream() // second real pass } From: Luís Filipe Nassif <lfcnas...@gmail.com<mailto:lfcnas...@gmail.com>> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2021 5:42 PM To: Peter Kronenberg <peter.kronenb...@torch.ai<mailto:peter.kronenb...@torch.ai>> Cc: user@tika.apache.org<mailto:user@tika.apache.org> Subject: Re: Re-using a TikaStream Something like: class MyInputStreamFactory implements InputStreamFactory{ private File file; public MyInputStreamFactory(File file){ this.file = file; } public InputStream getInputStream(){ return new FileInputStream(file); } } in your client code: Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser(); TikaInputStream tis = TikaInputStream.get(new MyInputStreamFactory(file)); parser.parse(tis, new ToTextContentHandler(), new Metadata(), new ParseContext()); when you need to reuse the stream (into your parser): public void parse(InputStream stream, ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata, ParseContext context) throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException { //(...) TikaInputStream tis = TikaInputStream.get(stream); if(tis.hasInputStreamFactory()){ try(InputStream is = tis.getInputStreamFactory().getInputStream()){ //consume the new stream } }else throw new IOException("not a reusable inputStream"); } Of course this is useful if you are not processing files, e.g. reading files from the cloud or sockets.

There appear to be 2 InputStreamFactory classes: in tika-server-core and tika-io. The one in server.core is the only one with a concrete class. I’m not quite sure I see how to use this.
