《Tika in Action》是由Chris A. Mattmann和Jukka L. Zitting合著的一本专业书籍，专为读者揭示Apache Tika这个强大的文件元数据解析工具背后的深度。Tika是Apache软件基金会的开源项目，它允许开发者轻松地在Java环境中解析和提取各种文件格式（如PDF、Office文档、图片等）中的元数据，包括元标题、作者、创建日期等信息，这对于内容管理和数据分析具有重要意义。本书的主要内容围绕Tika的核心功能展开，从理论到实践，全面介绍了如何利用Tika的API进行文件内容分析，包括其底层的工作原理、如何配置和集成到项目中，以及处理不同文件类型时的最佳实践。此外，书中还可能包含案例研究，展示了如何在实际应用中解决元数据解析的问题，提升数据处理效率和质量。《Tika in Action》不仅是一本技术手册，还是一本实用指南，适合Java开发者、数据分析师和IT专业人士参考。通过阅读这本书，读者可以学习到如何优化信息抽取流程，提高数据处理的准确性和一致性，同时了解如何遵循版权法规，确保在合法范围内使用Tika。书中由Jerome Charron撰写的前言可能会概述Tika在当前数字化世界中的重要性，以及为何选择这本书作为深入学习的起点。同时，Manning出版社提供的在线资源和折扣信息，为读者提供了获取更多技术资料和支持的途径。版权方面，该书受到Manning Publications Co.的严格保护，未经出版商书面许可，任何形式的复制、存储或传输都必须遵守版权法。书中提及的制造商和销售商商标，表明作者尊重知识产权，并遵循了规范的标识使用方法。《Tika in Action》是一本值得深入研究的资源，对于任何希望通过Tika增强对文件内容理解和管理能力的读者来说，它将提供详尽的指导和实践经验。

foreword

I’m a big fan of search engines and Java, so early in the year 2004 I was looking for a

good Java-based open source project on search engines. I quickly discovered Nutch.

Nutch is an open source search engine project from the Apache Software Foundation.

It was initiated by Doug Cutting, the well-known father of Lucene.

With my new toy on my laptop, I tested and tried to evaluate it. Even if Nutch was

in its early stages, it was a promising project—exactly what I was looking for. I pro-

posed my first patches to Nutch relating to language identification in early 2005.

Then, in the middle of 2005 I become a Nutch committer and increased my number

of contributions relating to language identification, content-type guessing, and docu-

ment analysis. Looking more deeply at Lucene, I discovered a wide set of projects

around it: Nutch, Solr, and what would eventually become Mahout. Lucene provides

its own analysis tools, as do Nutch and Solr, and each one employs some “proprietary”

interfaces to deal with analysis engines.

So I consulted with Chris Mattmann, another Nutch committer with whom I had

worked, about the potential for refactoring all these disparate tools in a common and

standardized project. The concept of Tika was born.

Chris began to advocate for Tika as a standalone project in 2006. Then Jukka

Zitting came into the picture and took the lead on the Tika project; after a lot of refac-

toring and enhancements, Tika became a Lucene top-level project.

At that point in time, Tika was being used in Nutch, Droids (an Incubator project

that you’ll hear about in chapter 10), and many non-Lucene projects—the activity on

Tika mailing lists was indicative of this. The next promising steps for the project

involved plugging Tika into top-level Lucene projects, such as Lucene itself or Solr.

FOREWORDxvi

That amounted to a big challenge, as it required Tika to provide a flexible and robust

set of interfaces that could be used in any programming context where metadata anal-

ysis was needed.

Luckily, Tika got there. With this book, written by Tika’s two main creators and

maintainers, Chris and Jukka, you’ll understand the problems of document analysis

and document information extraction. They first explain to the reader why develop-

ers have such a need for Tika. Today, content handling and analysis are basic building

blocks of all major modern services: search engines, content management systems,

data mining, and other areas.

If you’re a software developer, you’ve no doubt needed, on many occasions, to

guess the encoding, formatting, and language of a file, and then to extract its meta-

data (title, author, and so on) and content. And you’ve probably noticed that this is a

pain. That’s what Tika does for you. It provides a robust toolkit to easily handle any data

format and to simplify this painful process.

Chris and Jukka explain many details and examples of the Tika API and toolkit,

including the Tika command-line interface and its graphical user interface (GUI) that

you can use to extract information about any type of file handled by Tika. They show

how you can use the Tika Application Programming Interface (API) to integrate Tika

commodities directly with your own projects. You’ll discover that Tika is both simple

to use and powerful. Tika has been carefully designed by Chris and Jukka and, despite

the internal complexity of this type of library, Tika’s API and tools are simple and easy

to understand and to use.

Finally, Chris and Jukka show many real-life uses cases of Tika. The most noticeable

real-life projects are Tika powering the NASA Science Data Systems, Tika curating can-

cer research data at the National Cancer Institute’s Early Detection Research Net-

work, and the use of Tika for content management within the Apache Jackrabbit

project. Tika is already used in many projects.

I’m proud to have helped launch Tika. And I’m extremely grateful to Chris and

Jukka for bringing Tika to this level and knowing that the long nights I spent writing

code for automatic language identification for the MIME type repository weren’t in

vain. To now make (even) a small contribution, for example, to assist in research in

the fight against cancer, goes straight to my heart.

Thank you both for all your work, and thank you for this book.

PREFACExviii

It wasn’t as simple as we thought. After getting little interest from the broader

Lucene community (Nutch was a Lucene subproject and thus the project we were pro-

posing had to go through the Lucene PMC), and with Jérôme and I both taking on

further responsibility that took time away from direct Nutch development, what would

eventually be known as Tika began to fizzle away.

That’s where the other author of this book comes in. Jukka Zitting, bless him, was

keenly interested in a technology, separate from the behemoth Nutch codebase, that

would perform the types of things that we had carved off as Tika core capabilities:

parsing, text extraction, metadata extraction, MIME detection, and more. Jukka was a

seasoned Apache veteran, so he knew what to do. Jukka became a real leader of the

original Tika proposal, took it to the Apache Incubator, and helped turn Tika into a

real Apache project.

After working with Jukka for a year or so in the Incubator community, we took our

show on the road back to Lucene as a subproject when Tika graduated. Over a period

of two years, we made seven Tika releases, infected several popular Apache projects

(including Lucene, Solr, Nutch, and Jackrabbit), and gained enough critical mass to

grow into a full-fledged Apache Top Level Project (TLP).

But we weren’t done there. I don’t remember the exact time during the Christmas

season in 2009 when I decided it was time to write a book, but it matters little. When I

get an idea in my head, it’s hard to get it out. This book was happening. Tika in Action

was happening. I approached Jukka and asked him how he felt. In characteristic fash-

ion, he was up for the challenge.

We sure didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into! We didn’t know that the

rabbit hole went this deep. That said, I can safely say I don’t think we could’ve taken

any other path that would’ve been as fulfilling, exciting, and rewarding. We really put

our hearts and souls into creating this book. We sincerely hope you enjoy it. I think I

speak for both of us in saying, I know we did!
