[SPARK-19919][SQL] Defer throwing the exception for empty paths in CSV datasource into `DataSource` ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR proposes to defer throwing the exception within `DataSource`. Currently, if other datasources fail to infer the schema, it returns `None` and then this is being validated in `DataSource` as below: ``` scala> spark.read.json("emptydir") org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Unable to infer schema for JSON. It must be specified manually.; ``` ``` scala> spark.read.orc("emptydir") org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Unable to infer schema for ORC. It must be specified manually.; ``` ``` scala> spark.read.parquet("emptydir") org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Unable to infer schema for Parquet. It must be specified manually.; ``` However, CSV it checks it within the datasource implementation and throws another exception message as below: ``` scala> spark.read.csv("emptydir") java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: Cannot infer schema from an empty set of files ``` We could remove this duplicated check and validate this in one place in the same way with the same message. ## How was this patch tested? Unit test in `CSVSuite` and manual test.
