Add to what I just said, the CSV parser also takes care of spaces (if any). So 
if we format the parser not to remove leading and trailing spaces during 
initialization, we will get info of the original data. Whether or not the field 
was encapsulated is the only missing info.

You're right, parser reads characters. But as downstream users, they can count 
bytes by characters read.
As I said, as a integration with Hadoop API, we want to know the original data 
read by the parser. What I asked is not having parsing to count the bytes, but 
only to set a flag indicating whether the field was enclosed by quotes.

Emmanuel Bourg commented on CSV-196:


But the parser reads characters, not bytes. That doesn't seem very reliable, 
and I suspect there are other cases where the parser ignores input characters 
(such as spaces between a delimiter and a quote). Flagging the quoted fields is 
likely to be insufficient.

yes, pretty much. The bytes read from the source file, including encapsulators, 
spaces, line breaks etc.

Do I understand correctly that you need this info only for counting the number 
of bytes read?
