Dong Lin updated FLINK-2186:
----------------------------
Component/s: (was: Library / Machine Learning)
> Rework CSV import to support very wide files
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2186
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2186
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API / Scala
> Reporter: Theodore Vasiloudis
> Priority: Not a Priority
> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major, auto-deprioritized-minor,
> auto-unassigned, pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m

> In the current readVcsFile implementation, importing CSV files with many
> columns can become from cumbersome to impossible.
> For example to import an 11 column file we need to write:
> {code}
> val cancer = env.readCsvFile[(String, String, String, String, String, String,
> String, String, String, String,
> String)]("/path/to/breast-cancer-wisconsin.data")
> {code}
> For many use cases in Machine Learning we might have CSV files with thousands
> or millions of columns that we want to import as vectors.
> In that case using the current readCsvFile method becomes impossible.
> We therefore need to rework the current function, or create a new one that
> will allow us to import CSV files with an arbitrary number of columns.
