I have an Excel file with a first row with N column names
If there are additional columns that are not labeled, Excel exports empty
columns. For example:
A,B,C,,
a,b,c,d,e
This causes an IAE like:
{noformat}
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The header contains a duplicate name: "" in
[A, B, C, , ]
at org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser.initializeHeader(CSVParser.java:368)
at org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser.<init>(CSVParser.java:248)
at org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser.parse(CSVParser.java:206)
{noformat}
It seems like the simplest solution is to ignore empty column names, such that
they cannot be addressable and not attempt to index them.
