TIKA server returned status 500. I have latest version of TIKA installed from pip and JAVA 8. I have to extract text from my PDF

Here is the code I executed. 

from tika import parser

file = 'sample.pdf'

file_data = parser.from_file(file)

text = file_data['content']

print(text)

I am getting error -

[WARNI] Tika server returned status: 500

None

I encountered the same error and for me restarting the Tika sever worked.

Running this should yield the PID

ps aux | grep java | grep tika

and then kill the tika server and restart your python app.

This error 500 seems to be returned when Tika Server fails for reasons such as running out of memory in heap, and other exceptions I yet have to figure out. I see those exceptions in the Tika Server log. As a workaround, in my client using python-tika, I'll start to retry the query (parser.from_file()) a few times when it returns null content. This is just a workaround.

But in order to avoid the 500 error, we need to find out what makes the Tika Server fail (or crash?).

The warning message comes from tika.py.callServer()
