Description

I have set the max string length and expected tika to parse up to that limit then return me the text. However, for certain files it appears that once that limit is reached, instead of returning the text parsed so far, it is throwing an exception.

It looks like the WriteLimitReachedException is being wrapped in another exception which is why it is not being caught.

Attached is the stack trace I am getting.
