Description

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.apache.tika.parser.CompositeParser.parse(CompositeParser.java:280)

The mediaTypeRegistry handling code in parse() of PackageParser seems cause the problem due to ForkParser cannot properly construct default TikaConfig. Also since TikaConfig is not serializable, there is no way to assign mediaTypeRegistry/bufferedMediaTypeRegistry before calling parse()
