I concur with Erick and Upayavira that it is best to keep Tika in a separate JVM...well, ideally a separate box or rack or even data center [0][1]. :)
But seriously, if you're using DIH/SolrCell, you have to configure Tika to parse documents recursively. This was made possible in SOLR-7189...see the test case/patch [2] for how to configure this. Given that this is the behavior that most people probably expect, we may want to modify the default setting in DIH; this may be a major/breaking default change, though. As always, please ping the Tika users list if you have any questions. Looks like we should update our wiki [3] to include guidance on OCR'ing embedded images.
