Re: Enable optional fields in csv parser

2019-11-17 Thread Otto Fowler
I think what he is saying is that the csv files may not always have all the
columns, in which case they won’t parse, which is before stellar can do
anything.

That way you don’t need a separate preprocessing step.

Re: Enable optional fields in csv parser

No, there is no way to do this currently.

The parser parses the line into and array of strings that must match the
size of the columns.

The underlying opencsv parser does not support this either.  You may have
to do some normalization work on your data if you need to account for this.
