Dear All

I'm currently having great difficulty building nutch from trunk.  The
reason that I'm attempting this is that I wish to use the latest
version of Tika and I thought there might be an alternative.
Therefore:

Is it possible to determine the version of Tika included with the
binary version (1.2) of nutch?

Is it possible to add the latest version of Tika (0.9 I believe) to
the binary version (1.2) nutch? Or is it all bound up in the
executable?

Many thanks
Paul

Yes, take a look at the lib/tika-*.jar. The 1.2 release shipped with
Tika 0.7.

It's not possible - the Tika API has changed. Your best bet is to
encourage Nutch devs to work on NUTCH-967 and then wait a couple weeks
more and upgrade to Nutch 1.3.

Hi Andzrej

Sorry to bother you again.

I have checked the trunk version of tika out from svn.  I notice in
$NUTCH_HOME/runtime/local/lib the tika jar is also 0.7.  Is it
possible to upgrade this in the trunk or is this also affected by API
change?

many thanks
Paul

I hasn't been upgraded yet - this JIRA issue tracks the status of the
upgrade: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-967

And yes, the API is different, but not much - if you're a Java
programmer you should be able to do the upgrade yourself, and then you
can submit a patch to make it work for everyone else :)
