Re: [CSV] CSVMutableRecord
How about having a state in the class itself which says that it's mutable or not. If we call a setter on an immutable then it throws an exception. By default the records are immutable and you need to make them mutable using a new API. pros: Saves memory, Keeps the immutability benefits cons: people using "mutable" records need to be careful.(While threading maybe) -Nitin On Tue, Aug 15, 2017 at 9:01 AM Gilles wrote: > On Tue, 15 Aug 2017 09:49:04 -0600, Gary Gregory wrote: > > That looks odd to me.

Re: [CSV] CSVMutableRecord
That looks odd to me. What comes up for me is the use case where I want to ETL a file of 10,000,000 records and update, say, one column. If am forced to create a brand new record for every record read, that would be a shame. If I had a mutable record, I could just keep on updating it and using it to write each row. Read record, update it, write record. No extra memory needed. Either we can make the current record mutable (what's the harm?) or we can make the parser serve out mutable records based on a config setting. This could be a subclass of CSVRecord with the extra method I proposed. Thoughts?

Re: [CSV] CSVMutableRecord
Hi, I very much like that CSVRecord is unmodifiable. So I’d suggest an API, that creates a new record instead of mutating the existing one: CSVRecord newRecord = myRecord.put(1, „value") I’m not sure about „put“ as a method name since it clashes with java.util.Map#put, which is mutation based...

Yeah that also is OK. I though there is a reason to keep the CSVRecord without setters. But maybe not!
