Github user srowen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14638 I am really on the fence about it. I can see the argument that it's useful to support, and not hard to support. But also that this is just one of many Hive features that one could support, and we have to support it separately, and it duplicates other Spark-specific mechanisms. For what it's worth we did hear from a few users who said this would be useful. If we don't merge this, then we're saying that we believe there's a different and better way to do this via Spark CSV support. Is that true -- do we think that's not a big inconvenience?
