Description

This is my code

    List<Document> documents = new TikaDocumentReader(resource).read();

    return new TokenTextSplitter(knowledgeBaseFileSlice.getDefaultChunkSize(), knowledgeBaseFileSlice.getMinChunkSizeChars(),
            knowledgeBaseFileSlice.getMinChunkLengthToEmbed(), knowledgeBaseFileSlice.getMaxNumChunks(),
            knowledgeBaseFileSlice.isKeepSeparator()).apply(documents);

When I traverse the documents, getText() output text and metadata, I don't know about this
