Muhammad commented on CRUNCH-564:
---------------------------------
It appears to work with \ as escape character. Ill update if I face issues.
On configuration options - I thought you mandated to provide everything, because if I do not
provide CSV_BUFFER_SIZE it crashes with NPE, following is the code snippet that fails.
{code}
final String bufferValue = this.configuration.get(CSVFileSource.CSV_BUFFER_SIZE);
if ("".equals(bufferValue)) {
bufferSize = CSVLineReader.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE;
} else {
bufferSize = Integer.parseInt(bufferValue);
}
{code}
And If I do not provide CSV_INPUT_FILE_ENCODING it crashes also both because
{code} this.configuration.get(CSVFileSource.CSV_INPUT_FILE_ENCODING/CSV_BUFFER_SIZE)
{code}
is returning a *null* and not empty string making it go in the *else* clause..
I'm using {code}org.apache.mrunit:mrunit:1.1.0:hadoop2{code} and
{code}org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient:2.6.0{code}
> Add support for using escape character same as open/close quote character

> Project: Crunch
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Muhammad
> Assignee: Josh Wills
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: csv, csvparser
>
> As a user I would like to use CSVInputFormat to handle the CSV files following this RFC
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt.
> Many developers use Apache StringEscapeUtils.escapeCsv( ) method to escape their CSVs.
The method escapes the CSV following the RFC4180.
> https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html
> The CSVLineReader throws exception in such a case. We can enhance the code to support
the CSVs that use escape same as the quote characters.
> https://github.com/apache/crunch/blob/master/crunch-core/src/main/java/org/apache/crunch/io/text/csv/CSVLineReader.java#L152
> I would appreciate a comment, if someone has knowingly rejected the idea due to some
technical limitation or a problem with allowing escape and quote as same characters. By the
way Apache HAWQ seem to get around this issue somehow and reads such CSVs alright.
