Description

When using Tika with OSGi, I am not able to override this warning:
... org.apache.tika.config.InitializableProblemHandler$3 handleInitializableProblem
WARNING: org.xerial's sqlite-jdbc is not loaded.
Please provide the jar on your classpath to parse sqlite files.
See tika-parsers/pom.xml for the correct version.

I don't need sqlite handling, and am really not sure why it is a required jar.  It should be optional.

I have tried to override it with a tika.config system property, but the OSGi Activator does not use that configuration file.

The OSGi Activator is following this path to the ServiceLoader constructor, where the level is hard coded to WARN.

    public ServiceLoader(

            ClassLoader loader, LoadErrorHandler handler, boolean dynamic)

{         *this*(loader, handler, InitializableProblemHandler.WARN, dynamic);     }

This is the stack trace that it follows to this path:

Please make a property where one can override the level similar to "org.apache.tika.service.error.warn" is available for the LoadErrorHandler.

I recommend something like: 

org.apache.tika.service.initializableProblemHandler.level = IGNORE, with a default value of WARN.
