Description

Tika 2.0.0 changed the default error handler to throw exceptions, and does not ignore errors when loading parsers anymore as it was the case with Tika 1.x.

See https://github.com/apache/tika/commit/e47c6cd62e587fdaae7e2e999f37122d09449754#diff-3955d56f4d95c6e600966c486c58f92483c900d32d553d18b3cf2940cbf2c768R470

There's no configuration option to restore the previous behavior. It should be possible to set

<service-loader loadErrorHandler="ignore"/>

but the code in org.apache.tika.config.TikaConfig#serviceLoaderFromDomElement only considers "warn" and "throw" as possible values.
