Description

Hi,

since Solr 8.6 the version of tika-parsers was updated to 1.24. This version of tika-parsers needs the poi library in version 4.1.2 (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3047)

Solr has version 4.1.1 of poi included.

This creates (at least) a problem for parsing .xls files. The following exception gets thrown by trying to post an .xls file in the techproducts example:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.poi.hssf.record.common.UnicodeString.getExtendedRst()Lorg/apache/poi/hssf/record/common/ExtRst;
