------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey [~tallison@apache.org] I ended up going with my own project because it had commons-pool integration which suited my needs to control fine grained things about the tika fork processes. https://github.com/nddipiazza/tika-fork/

Also it sets up a File Reaper thread to delete tmp files left over on Windows operating system after a certain delay as well.

I was wondering if you or any of the commiters maybe had some time to get on a zoom / webex session to chat about it? I am nicholas.dipiazza at the gmail if you might have time. 

I'd like to at the very least get a section in the apache tika website about how to fork jvms with a working example. 

But I'd like to also look into getting this project I've worked in somehow created in a PR where it has a chance of being merged, but need to go over with ya'll to get your input first.

> Sometimes, for example, you use tika to parse an XLS file that isn't really that big, maybe 60 MB. and suddenly the JVM heap size taken is >800Mb which causes an OOM in my case.
> Can we make an "abort threshold" where the tika parse will halt if parse output bytes exceeds this value?
> Or it is possible for users to already do this themselves by watching the input stream as it grows somehow?
