Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-2849: ------------------------------------- How about something like this: {code:java} TikaInputStream tis = TikaInputStream.cast(input); if (tis != null && tis.hasFile()) { return detect(tis.getFile()); } if (input == null || !hasOleHeader(input)) { return MediaType.OCTET_STREAM; } int maxBytesToSpool = 16 * 1024 * 1024; // Or some configurable limit. InputStream lookahead = new LookaheadInputStream(stream, n); try { tis = new TikaInputStream(lookahead); try { if (tis.getLength() < maxBytesToSpool) { return detect(tis.getFile()); } } finally { tis.close(); } } finally { lookahead.close(); } return MediaType.OCTET_STREAM; {code} > TikaInputStream copies the input stream locally > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-2849 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2849 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.20 > Reporter: Boris Petrov > Assignee: Tim Allison > Priority: Major > > When doing "tika.detect(stream, name)" and the stream is a "TikaInputStream", > execution gets to "TikaInputStream#getPath" which does a "Files.copy(in, > path, REPLACE_EXISTING);" which is very, very bad. This input stream could > be, as in our case, an input stream from a network file which is tens or > hundreds of gigabytes large. Copying it locally is a huge waste of resources > to say the least. Why does it do that and can I make it not do it? Or is this > something that has to be fixed in Tika? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
