Right. Thank you for reporting the solution. Be aware, though, that some parser dependencies are not included with the Solr distribution, and, because of the way that Tika currently works, you'll silently get no text/metadata from those file types (e.g. sqlite files and others). See [1] for some discussion of this. If you want the full Tika (with all of its messiness) and you are already using SolrJ, use the tika-app.jar.
Your code will correctly extract content from embedded documents, but it will not extract metadata from embedded documents/attachments (SOLR-7229). If you want to be able to process metadata from embedded docs, you might consider the RecursiveParserWrapper. Note, too, that if you send in a ParseContext (SOLR-7189) in your call to parse, make sure to add the AutoDetectParser or else you will get no content from embedded docs. Both of these will get embedded content: parser.parse(in, contentHandler, metadata); Or ParseContext context = new ParseContext(); context.set(Parser.class, parser); parser.parse(in, contentHandler, metadata, context); This will not: ParseContext context = new ParseContext(); parser.parse(in, contentHandler, metadata, context); As you've already done, feel free to ask more Tika-specific questions over on tika-user.
