I’d think quoting is only necessary if you are not escaping delimiters in data. But we can only share our opinions. It would be good to see something documented. This may be the cause of the issue?: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-135

I have simple code to read a csv file which has \ escapes. val myDA = spark.read .option("quote",null) .schema(mySchema) .csv(filePath) As per documentation \ is default escape for csv reader. But it does not work. Spark is reading \ as part of my data. For Ex: City column in csv file is north rocks\,au . I am expecting city column should read in code as northrocks,au. But instead spark reads it as northrocks\ and moves au to next column. I have tried following but did not work: * Explicitly defined escape .option("escape",”\\") * Changed escape to | or : in file and in code * I have tried using spark-csv library Any one facing same issue? Am I missing something? Thanks
