Description

If i try to add a Excel File (see attachment) i get this Exception

Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: You cannot get a string value from a numeric cell
at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell.getStringCellValue(HSSFCell.java:800)
at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.MsExcelTextFilter$1.initializeReader(MsExcelTextFilter.java:97)
at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.LazyReader.read(LazyReader.java:79)

The bad news is that if you add this file the repository is not startabel anymore because the file is in the redo.log and you
get a blocker !

The stack from the restart after NumberFormatException

I think its very important that you can not block a whole repository if the indexer throws a exception.
thanks
