In any case, it seems that the current behavior is not documented sufficiently.

i can see how unquoted csv would work if you escape delimiters, but i have never seen that in practice.

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
