I'm using Apache Tika server in a Docker container to parse all sorts of files. I noticed that when sending a broken PDF to parse, Tika returned 200 and empty text. I added this line to my config.xml:
<returnStackTrace>true</returnStackTrace>
Which then made Tika still return 200, but with the stack trace:

This is problematic, because I'm relying on the status code returned from Tika to determine if the text extraction worked or not. I would like to make Tika return 500 when it fails to parse a file, but I couldn't find any configuration value to put in config.xml to make it so.
