Description

I was trying to detect a hprof file by downloading and passing it as input stream to tika. But the MIME type is being detected as `application/octantstream`. Can a more granular support for detecting if a file is of type hprof be added?

Hprof files are Java memory dump files and you can read more about it here: https://dzone.com/articles/memory-analysis-how-to-obtain-java-heat-dump

I had found this parser for hprof in Java if it helps: https://github.com/eaftan/hprof-parser
