Sean R. Owen commented on SPARK-32614:
--------------------------------------
I dont' really understand this. Are you just saying you need to treat the null
byte as a comment character? so set that as the comment char? what is the Spark
issue here.
> Support for treating the line as valid record if it starts with \u0000 or
> null character, or starts with any character mentioned as comment

> Key: SPARK-32614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32614
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core, SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5, 3.0.0
> Reporter: chanduhawk
> Assignee: Jeff Evans
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: screenshot-1.png
>
>
> 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+*

> Internal state when error was thrown: line=1, column=0, record=0, charIndex=7

> *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.
