    Description

      The XML Abstract metdata handler should check for an existing value for multi-valued fields as well as simple text fields.

      Similar metadata may be stored in multiple fields in the source and a developer may choose to map several source fields to the same tika field, in which case no check is made for duplicates of existing delimited values.

      For example, a developer may want to dump any values contained in legacy IPTC keywords and dc:subject into tika keywords. If IPTC keywords = ['rock','tree','dog'] and dc:subject = ['rock','tree','K9'] then currently tika keywords = ['rock','tree','dog','rock','tree','K9'] instead of the desired ['rock','tree','dog','K9'].
