Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-17967:
--------------------------------------
That works but IMHO less pretty actually. We can add `option(Array[String])`
API and internally use CSV format as well (current approach is JSON); however,
if we use CSV then, we will face another problems like how to handle null, etc.
> Support for list or other types as an option for datasources

> Key: SPARK-17967
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17967
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.1
> Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon
> Priority: Major
>
> This was discussed in SPARK-17878
> For other datasources, it seems okay with string/long/boolean/double value as
> an option but it seems it is not enough for the datasource such as CSV. As it
> is an interface for other external datasources, I guess it'd affect several
> ones out there.
> I took a look a first but it seems it'd be difficult to support this (need to
> change a lot).
> One suggestion is support this as a JSON array.
