Worked on the apache/tika repository to enhance the reliability of external process execution within the GDALParser component. Focused on improving error handling and external process management in Java, the work introduced configurable timeouts and output caps for both stdout and stderr, reducing the risk of deadlocks and unresponsive processes. Output from GDAL processes was redirected to a dedicated thread, further minimizing timeouts and improving system stability. Additionally, the solution enriched metadata management by providing more detailed process metadata, which improved observability and traceability for GDAL-based parsing. The changes addressed targeted reliability issues and contributed to more robust external integrations.
