Tika 1 is no longer accepted in pantheon.yml

May 13, 2026

Setting tika_version: 1 in pantheon.yml is now rejected at validation time. Sites with this setting will receive a validation error on their next commit:

Tika 1.18 and 1.21 were removed from the platform on April 28, 2026. Since that date, tika_version: 1 was silently ignored and sites automatically used Tika 3. This change formalizes the rejection so that sites receive a clear error instead of a silent fallback.

Action Required

Update your pantheon.yml to use a supported value:

Or remove the tika_version setting entirely if your site does not use Tika. To explicitly disable Tika, set tika_version: none.
