Don't know what the answer from the Solr side is, but from the Tika side, I recently failed to get TIKA-1830 into Tika 1.12...so there may be a need to wait for Tika 1.13.
No matter the answer on when there'll be an upgrade within Solr, I strongly encourage carving Tika into a separate JVM/server from Solr. If I may beat Erick to the punch on this one: https://lucidworks.com/blog/2012/02/14/indexing-with-solrj/ .

I would gladly welcome the reply of the community on the following subject: Until the last version (5.4.1) Solr is embedding Tika artifacts (in contrib/extraction/lib) version 1.7 and dependent artifacts POI version 3.11. Do you know when do you plan to update the version of Tika to a more recent one? Just for your information, we are embedding Solr in our open source product "Datafari" and we are defining a new Parser that needs a newer version of Tika.
