Chandan updated SPARK-32614: ---------------------------- Description: In most of the data ware housing scenarios files does not have comment records and every line needs to be treated as a valid record even though it starts with default comment character as \u0000 or null character.Though user can set any comment character other than \u0000, but there is a chance the actual record can start with those characters. Currently for the below piece of code and the given testdata where first row starts with null \u0000 character it will throw the below error. *eg: *val df = spark.read.option("delimiter",",").csv("file:/E:/Data/Testdata.dat"); df.show(false); *+TestData+* !screenshot-1.png! Internal state when error was thrown: line=1, column=0, record=0, charIndex=7 at com.univocity.parsers.common.AbstractParser.handleException(AbstractParser.java:339) at com.univocity.parsers.common.AbstractParser.parseLine(AbstractParser.java:552) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.csv.TextInputCSVDataSource$.inferFromDataset(CSVDataSource.scala:160) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.csv.TextInputCSVDataSource$.infer(CSVDataSource.scala:148) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.csv.CSVDataSource.inferSchema(CSVDataSource.scala:62) at org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.csv.CSVFileFormat.inferSchema(CSVFileFormat.scala:57) *Note:* Though its the limitation of the univocity parser and the workaround is to provide any other comment character by mentioning .option("comment","#"), but if my actual data starts with this character then the particular row will be discarded. Currently I pushed the code in univocity parser to handle this scenario as part of the below PR https://github.com/uniVocity/univocity-parsers/pull/412 please accept the jira so that we can enable this feature in spark-csv by adding a parameter in spark csvoptions. was: In most of the data ware housing scenarios files does not have comment records and every line needs to be treated as a valid record even though it starts with default comment character as \u0000 or null character.Though user can set any comment character other than \u0000, but there is a chance the actual record can start with those characters.
