Oh, I didn't mean I am against this. I am just wondering if it is just possible 
to deal with this in general. If it is not easy for now, I'd rather support 
this idea if we should deal with this problem. (Actually, one of the votes is 
from me :))

> There are CSV files out there with multiple values that are supposed to be 
> interpreted as null. As a result, multiple spark users have asked for this 
> feature built into the CSV data source. It can be easily implemented in a 
> backwards compatible way:
> - Currently CSV data source supports an option named {{nullValue}}.
> - We can add logic in {{CSVOptions}} to understands option names that match 
> {{nullValue[\d]}}. This way user can specify a query with multiple or one 
> null value.
> {code}
> val df = spark.read.format("CSV").option("nullValue1", 
> "-").option("nullValue2", "*")....
> {code}
