Description

Tesseract has a very large number of config options (use tesseract --print-parameters to see them).  There is no mechanism for TesseractOCRParser / TesseractOCRConfig to pass these to Tesseract, and so they cannot be controlled by user code.

Tika should pass these through as opaque key-value pairs, so that user code can set them as necessary.
