Hi, if I try to index an apk file, tika tries to extract it and throws the following exception: {"error":"MapperParsingException[Failed to extract [100000] characters of text for [null]]; nested: TikaException[Zip bomb detected!]; nested: SecureSAXException[Suspected zip bomb: 10 levels of package entry nesting]; ","status":400} Can I somewhere increase the allowed depth of levels? Or can I somehow prevent extracting files with high nesting levels in order to avoid this exception? I'm using elasticsearch 0.20.2 and mapper-attachments 1.6.0 -- ---

Same problem still exists in elasticsearch 0.20.6. Does anybody have an idea how to avoid this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, you cannot configure that in elasticsearch, To be honest, I am not sure, if this can be configured upstream in Tika (where the exception occurs from), see [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-860](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-860) [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-741](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-741) if you find another solution, please put it here as well 🙂 On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 12:10 AM, nordsee [hullmann.arne@googlemail.com](mailto:hullmann.arne@googlemail.com)wrote: > Same problem still exists in elasticsearch 0.20.6.
