Description

The TikaEntityProcessor does not find the correct document parser by default.
This is in a two-level DIH config file. I have attached pdflist-data-config.xml and pdflist.xml, the XML file list supplying. To test this, you will need the current 3.x branch or 4.0 trunk.

1. Set up a Tika-enabled Solr
2. copy any PDF file to /tmp/testfile.pdf
3. copy the pdflist-data-config.xml to your solr/conf
4. and add this snippet to your solrconfig.xml

   <requestHandler name="/pdflist"
         class="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler">
     <lst name="defaults">
                 <str name="config">pdflist-data-config.xml</str>
         </lst>
   </requestHandler>
   

http://localhost:8983/solr/pdflist?command=full-import will make one document with the id and text fields populated. If you remove this line:

 parser="org.apache.tika.parser.pdf.PDFParser"

from the TikaEntityProcessor entity, the parser will not be found and you will get a document with the "id" field and nothing else.
